Paleo Tips: Condiments

Condiments have been one of the biggest challenges in going Paleo.  Almost all condiments have sugar, xantham gum, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, or some preservative like sodium benzoate.

Now, I am all for making my own condiments...I did attempt at ketchup and it turned out pretty good.   BUT, unless  I win the lottery and have all of the time in the world, I can't make everything I put into my mouth from scratch.  Almond milk yes, but condiments?  There is not enough time in the day! 

So I was very happy when I can across this tasty hot sauce at one of my favorite burger joints in SF (Roam).  

Ingredients: Organic ripened habareno pepper, organic red ripened jalapeno peppers, organic apple cider vinegar, organic vinegar, organic chipotle peppers, salt.  

It's not Tapatio, but it is damn good.

Happy Eating!
