Snacks from different parts of the world can never taste the way they do without being paired with different sauces. Imagine spring rolls, pasta, salads, spaghetti, burgers, and just about anything without sauces. Sauces enhance the flavor of any dish they’re added to, and one such signature sauce is Sriracha.
A sauce with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy combined with a bit of heat, Sriracha is often used as a dipping and topping sauce for countless dishes. While there are several up-and-coming Sriracha brands owing to the sauce’s popularity, Underwood Ranch Sriracha is one of the artisanal brands known for its outstanding take on this lip-smacking condiment. Underwood Ranch Sriracha is a combination of sustainably sourced natural ingredients that makes the concept of farm-to-bottle a reality. If you wonder what ingredients come together to craft the farm-to-bottle Sriracha, here’s all that you need to know.
Red Jalapenos
The deep flavor of heat in Sriracha is credited to chili peppers, and Underwood Ranch Sriracha uses red jalapenos to bring out this primary flavor. The reason why red peppers are chosen rather than their green counterparts is that red peppers add a robust flavor of sweetness and fruitiness to the sauce to balance the spiciness.
What further distinguishes Underwood Ranch Sriracha sauce is the earth-friendly growing approach and organic farming methods to retain the fertility of the soil. When healthy soil is used to grow the plants, the product is healthy red peppers that have enhanced flavor and are nutrient-rich.
Garlic
Garlic is yet another essential ingredient that perfectly compliments the flavor of red peppers. The Underwood Ranch Sriracha utilizes farm-grown garlic cloves that are fresh and have a unique flavor profile. Organically grown garlic is not only a healthier alternative but also adds complexity and depth to the taste of the sauce.
The garlic used in Underwood Ranch Sriracha is grown without using any synthetic pesticides or herbicides and instead makes use of natural alternatives to the synthetic kind. Further, adopting crop rotation techniques helps impart health and vitality to the garlic crop. So, the garlic used in Underwood Ranch Sriracha, while pesticide-free, is also delicious and healthy.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes add tanginess and sauciness to Sriracha, and they are also a great choice for adding a layer of texture to the sauce. A variety of tomatoes are grown and added to the sauce to add juiciness to it. Much like the growing process utilized for other primary ingredients in Underwood Ranch Sriracha, tomatoes are grown using environmentally friendly, sustainable farming practices by prioritizing the health of the soil, water conservation, and minimal ecological footprint. This results in juicy, fresh, flavorful tomatoes that add a distinct character to the sauce.
The Crafting Process
All the ingredients — the red jalapenos, garlic, and tomatoes — once ripened, are harvested. Following the harvesting process, these ingredients are transformed from fruits to sauces in a way that preserves their natural flavor profile and characteristics, bringing the best out of all these ingredients. One of the unique approaches followed to craft Underwood Ranch Sriracha is the use of sundried red peppers, as the drying process intensifies the heat and sweetness. Further, the garlic and tomatoes are roasted to add a tinge of smokiness to the sauce’s flavor. The sundried peppers and roasted garlic and tomatoes are blended and made into a sauce after adding the farm’s signature blend of spices to create the farm-fresh Underwood Ranch Sriracha.
The Packaging
What makes the Underwood Ranch Sriracha truly sustainable and eco-friendly is the packaging practices that are followed. Packaged into glass containers, Underwood Ranch Sriracha ensures the use of recyclable and reusable glass to stay true to its commitment to sustainability.
The principles and methods followed throughout the process of making the sauce to packaging truly prove that organic ingredients made using sustainable practices can create exceptional products with intense flavors. In fact, the product of these practices is a medley of rich, complex, multi-layered flavors with the right balance of sweetness, zest, and heat.
Sriracha sauce is commonly used for its versatility and deep flavor. You can use the farm-to-bottle signature sauce for a wide array of Asian dishes, ranging from dumplings and noodles to sushi, as a dipping sauce for tempura, burgers, and sandwiches, as salad dressing, and for enhancing the taste of eggs as well. Picking a bottle of sustainably made Sriracha with organic ingredients gives you the assurance of having a healthy, flavorful sauce while prioritizing the well-being of the planet.
