About Mild buffalo sauce
Mild buffalo sauce is a tangy, mildly spicy condiment originating from Buffalo, New York, often associated with American cuisine and commonly used as a topping or dipping sauce for chicken wings and other dishes. It typically consists of ingredients such as hot sauce (made from chili peppers), butter, vinegar, and seasonings, offering a balance of heat and creaminess. Nutritionally, mild buffalo sauce is relatively low in calories (about 20-50 calories per tablespoon), with minimal protein or carbohydrates, while containing modest sodium levels (depending on the recipe). It is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals but does provide small amounts of vitamin A from chili peppers and trace fats from butter or similar substitutes.
