Are you a fan of hot and spicy like I am? I could put SRIRACHA on everything! I could use it on my pancakes.

Is that a little much for you? I don't even know which one is the "original" sriracha, the green cap or the white cap.

Who knows?

I just love it and I NEED it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

In fact, I submit the need for a "ROLL TIDE SRIRACHA" available in West Alabama and shoot, it should be available everywhere!

If your go-to for some heat, like me, is Sriracha sauce, we may have a shortage of our favorite condiment.

WHAT????????????????

So how did this happen?

How could there be a shortage of Sriracha sauce? Well, let me explain.

Ok… chili peppers have been in short supply since the beginning of the Covid pandemic.

Huy Fong, the producer of our beloved Sriracha sauce, made a statement in April that there are even more shortages of the chilies needed to produce Sriracha sauce.

No peppers - no sauce - no yum yum…

Why do you ask…well I’ll tell you.

There have also been unfavorable weather conditions where these peppers are grown, we can all relate to crazy weather, right? This is affecting the quality of the peppers.

Some Sriracha fans have already begun hoarding our beloved Asian hot sauce. You can also add these other Huy Fong products to the shortage list: Chili Garlic Sauce and Sambal Oelek products.

So if you love Sriracha hot chili sauce, I suggest you get an extra bottle or two for the summer grilling season. Just don’t take them all, Save some for me, please.
