A LITTLE MORE SAUCE KNOW-HOW.

Good questions.

Does Los Calientes Verde contain apricot?

Earlier recipes did. The current HEATONIST ingredient list uses pineapple instead.

Is Verde the same sauce as Los Calientes Rojo?

No. Verde is the green serrano and habanero sauce. Rojo is a separate product.
