Crushed red hot pepper with seed ( SAMBAL )

Sambal  is a spicy crushed chili  made primarily from fresh red chili peppers, vinegar, and salt. It has a coarse texture and delivers a raw, bright, and sharp heat without the sweetness or added flavors found in some other chili sauces.


🔥 Key Characteristics:

  • Ingredients: Red chilies, salt, vinegar, citric acid, sunflower oil (sometimes garlic or preservatives)

  • Texture: Chunky, with visible chili seeds and skins

  • Flavor: Fresh, fiery, tangy—more “pure” chili flavor than sauces like Sriracha

  • Heat Level: Medium to hot (depending on chili type and brand)
