Our Beginning
It started with myself, Jake, realizing I had an unhealthy relationship with food. I needed to learn to cook. To start, my cooking was similar to what you might find being prepared in your average fraternity house kitchen. Bland, possibly safe to eat and anything but healthy. Then I found hot sauce could save my poor taste buds. It wasn't long before my entire refrigerator door was dedicated entirely to hot sauce. A new passion was born. Luckily for me, my cooking abilities got better as did my love of cooking. I became enamored with different cultures' cuisines, which coincidentally, also included different types of peppers! I put two and two together and naturally began to experiment with making my own hot sauces. It was over the course of that first year I lost 80lbs and actually enjoyed every second of it! The food was getting better, healthier, spicier, and saucier. It wasn't long before my friends and family began to ask for bottles of my sauce. Just like that, Just Jake's was born.
The Health Benefits of Peppers
Considered a super food, peppers are an amazing source of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin E, vitamin C (3x more than oranges!) as well as Potassium, Folic Acid, and Fiber. They've been known to lower blood pressure, promote digestive health, reduce the risk of diabetes, promote weight loss by increasing metabolism, lower cholesterol, promote eye health, prevent anemia, reduce cancer risk, even help prevent bad breath! Capsaicin (what makes a pepper hot) is known to be an antioxidant and have anti-inflammatory properties which aids in an astounding number of ways from treating pain, lessening allergies, fighting sickness, and reduce swelling, bruising and redness.
With all these benefits how can you afford to NOT to try our gourmet hot sauce?
