Legal Hot Sauce is crafted from a unique recipe handed down through generations and is now available in the United States for the first time. The sauce's main ingredient is the Malagueta pepper, which is grown in Brazil. According to legend, the Portuguese discovered the Malagueta pepper during their exploration of South America. This mystical plant has been utilized by indigenous people in Brazil for thousands of years, both in food and for medicinal purposes. Explorers encountered the Malagueta pepper while searching for gold in Brazil.
