The history of HSBC is the history of the founder Chen De, and HSBC can be said to be the American version of the old godmother.
 
In 1975, Tran Duc made the first chili sauce in Vietnam, "Satay Chili Sauce", and in 1980, he founded HSBC in the United States, where he created products that sell well to this day: Sriracha Chili Sauce, Garlic Chili Sauce and Vegetarian Chili Sauce. This Southeast Asian-style chili sauce quickly seized the market with its excellent strength, and in 2017, HSBC accounted for 8% of the hot sauce market in the United States, ranking third.
 
HSBC's emphasis is on fresh chili peppers, and the most popular Sriracha sauce is the same ingredients as Lee Kum Kee Garlic Chili Sauce, mainly chilli, sugar, salt, garlic and vinegar. The taste style of the two is also similar, but the sriracha chili sauce has a distinct taste of raw chili pepper, the product form is semi-liquid, the taste is more delicate, the sour and garlic flavor is more pronounced, and the spicy taste is moderate.
 
Sriracha chili sauce is always available in most families in the United States, and the sour and spicy flavor can be added to any fast food, and the product positioning in the U.S. market is similar to ketchup, and the packaging design is also a bottle-shaped extruded plastic bottle for easy consumption. The price is moderate, about 30 yuan for a 793g large bottle, and it is worth a try.
 
HSBC garlic chili sauce does not add white sugar, the overall taste is salty, sour and spicy, the taste is not as attractive as Sriracha chili sauce, and the price is higher, and the cost performance is average.
 
These two chili peppers and garlic have a strong taste, and HSBC has also launched a garlic-free vegetarian chili sauce, with simple raw materials, similar to a mixture of vinegar and chili peppers, with fewer domestic purchase channels, and the taste is not outstanding, so it is not recommended to buy at a high price.
 
When buying HSBC products online, you may have doubts, the original label of chili sauce is 0 calories and 0 fat, while the Chinese label has calories, which is actually related to different labeling methods. Chinese labels are in units of 100g, HSBC chili sauce 100g contains calories of about 300 kilojoules, while the original label is in 5g units, the calories contained in this 5g are less than 5 kilocalories (about 20 kilojoules), can be marked as 0, some merchants advertise this product as 0 calorie chili sauce is not rigorous. However, compared with other chili sauces, HSBC chili sauce is very low in calories, suitable for people who are on a diet to make cold dishes, and the flavor is excellent.
