HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this sauce is not the most nutritious, cilantro and garlic are known for their nutritional and medicinal properties. They can aid in digestion, boost the immune system, and reduce inflammation.
Jalapeno peppers contain a compound called capsaicin, which causes the heat sensation in the mouth. Capsaicin has been linked to boosting metabolism, weight loss, and reducing inflammation.
