WATER & SPICES

With water as our first ingredient, it's important that it's the best so we use a 3-stage system with 6 layers of filtration down to .5 microns effectively removing over 99% of contaminants.

While our spice blend is proprietary, we use the finest spices to deliver the best flavor.

We also unapologetically use MSG in our hot sauce.  Consider the following ...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer commonly used in various foods. It has been the subject of much debate, but there are several potential benefits associated with its use:

• Umami Taste: MSG is known for providing the umami flavor, which is one of the five basic tastes. It can make food taste more savory and full-bodied, improving the overall flavor profile of dishes without adding extra salt.

• Lower Sodium Content: Using MSG can help reduce the overall sodium content in foods. MSG contains about one-third of the sodium of table salt (sodium chloride), and adding it to foods can enhance flavor while allowing for less salt to be used, which is beneficial for those monitoring their sodium intake.

• Increased Palatability: Foods containing MSG are often perceived as more delicious, which can improve appetite, especially in populations such as the elderly, who might have diminished taste sensitivity or reduced appetite.

• Scientific Consensus: Numerous studies and regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), have found MSG to be safe for consumption. Despite some claims of "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome," controlled studies have not consistently shown MSG to cause adverse reactions in the general population.

• Aiding Digestion: Some research suggests that MSG may enhance the digestion of protein-rich foods by stimulating the secretion of digestive juices, potentially aiding in better nutrient absorption.

• Satiety: There is some evidence that MSG might help with weight management by increasing the sensation of fullness (satiety) after eating, which could lead to reduced calorie intake.

While MSG has been demonized in some media, most scientific research supports its safety and potential benefits when used appropriately. The key is moderation, as with any food additive.

If you're concerned about MSG or have specific health conditions, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.

These benefits are supported by research, but the actual effects can vary depending on individual health conditions and dietary habits.
