Poor Devil Pepper Company

The organic, gluten-free, vegan hot sauces from Poor Devil Pepper Company always come through. We’re obsessed with Little Frankie, the brand’s take on Buffalo-style sauce. But the spicy Mountain Mama keeps us as repeat customers. Can we get a “take me home, country roads” from the crowd? Of note, you’ll want to keep these raw, probiotic-rich sauces refrigerated even before opening.

Los Calientes

For those who like it smoky and sweet with a touch of heat, Los Calientes is the vegan hot sauce for you. You might recognize this punchy sauce from Hot Ones, the celebrity interview series hosted by Sean Evans featuring increasingly hot wings. In plant-based news, Lizzo killed it when she took on the veganized Buffalo wings challenge earlier this year. But to no surprise, she did Good As Hell.

Truff

Vegan-Friendly

This luxury condiment brand offers not one, but three vegan hot sauce varieties to become obsessed with. Each sauce is slightly hotter than the next and our fave is the Original Truff Hot Sauce. These gluten-free sauces pack notes of the rich and luxurious truffle mushroom alongside traditional chili peppers. Additionally, the brand also offers vegan-friendly pasta sauce.

Melinda’s

Vegan-Friendly

With an impressive lineup of sauces, which to choose? So, that really depends on what you’re looking for. Ranging from hot to x-tremely hot, the question becomes how much heat can you handle? Opt for the Original Habanero or Jalapeno Pepper hot sauces if lower heat is your vibe. If you’re a walking fire-breather, the Scorpion Pepper sauce might suit your fancy. No matter what you choose, you might want a glass of oat milk on standby.

TorchBearer

Vegan-Friendly

Our go-to TorchBearer sauce is the Sultry Sauce. Not only does this condiment pack a fun, inviting name, but it also brings a super flavorful heat. In addition to habanero peppers, this plant-based sauce contains mandarin oranges, tomatoes, and carrots—oh my! Vegan-friendly honorable mentions include Sweet Onion Habanero and Danny Wood’s Jalapeno Cilantro.

During her studies to become a registered dietitian, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time (Go Broncos!), she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, practicing as a pediatric clinical dietitian, and virtually coaching fellow plant-based eaters, you can find her creating veg-centric recipes, trying new cruelty-free products, and spending time with her partner Addison and cat Kovu.
