About Zesty buffalo sauce

Zesty Buffalo sauce is a tangy, spicy condiment originating in the United States, traditionally tied to American cuisine, particularly Buffalo, New York, where it was first paired with chicken wings. It typically combines hot sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic, and seasonings to create its bold flavor profile. Nutritionally, Buffalo sauce is low in calories, with about 5 calories per tablespoon, depending on the recipe. It contains minimal fat and carbohydrates but may be high in sodium due to salt and hot sauce content. While not nutrient-dense, it often provides small amounts of capsaicin from chili peppers, known for its potential metabolism-boosting qualities.

Health Benefits

• Capsaicin from chili peppers may help boost metabolism and promote fat oxidation.

• Vinegar in the sauce may aid digestion by stimulating stomach acid production.
