Sweet Chilli Sauce

Sweet Chilli Sauce is a sweet, spicy condiment common in Southeast Asian and fusion cuisines, used as a dip, glaze or finishing sauce for grilled meats, seafood and snacks. It’s known for a sticky texture and a balance of sugar, chilli heat and vinegar. Nutritionally Sweet Chilli Sauce is high in added sugars, providing about 44g of sugar per 100g, with very little protein or fiber and almost no fat; it can contribute noticeable salt and simple carbohydrates to a meal while only supplying small amounts of vitamins like vitamin A and B6. Because it’s a highly processed, sweet condiment, it’s best used sparingly to add flavor rather than as a regular source of nutrition — swapping to reduced‑sugar or fresh chilli alternatives lets you keep the taste while cutting sugar and processing.
