FAQ
1. How hot is it?
Original Recipe is a 3 out of 5 — real habanero heat, balanced, made for everyday eating. Crazy Recipe is a 5 out of 5. It's on the black label for a reason.
2. What's actually in it?
Habanero, salt, sugar, olive oil, lime, garlic, onions. That's the whole list. No preservatives, no MSG, nothing artificial.
3. Do I need to refrigerate it?
Yes — keep your jar refrigerated after opening. Shelf life details are printed on the jar.
4. What do I put it on?
Everything. Phở, eggs, tacos, pizza, noodles, fried rice, marinades, bánh mì. "Delicious on everything" started as family testimony, not a slogan.
5. Is it only for Vietnamese food?
Not at all. The recipe is Vietnamese at heart, but the habanero came from our California neighbors. Ớt Gà Đen was built to cross borders.
