Sauce, piment fort, sriracha
Sriracha is a smooth, thick hot sauce made from sun-ripened red chili peppers blended with vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. At 1.319 g/ml, it is one of the densest common cooking sauces—over 30% heavier than water per unit volume—because of its high concentration of ground peppers and dissolved sugars. A tablespoon of sriracha weighs approximately 19–20 g; a full cup weighs around 315 g. The thick, gel-like consistency means air pockets can form when spooning into a measure; always scrape the sides for an accurate reading.

Les mesures en volume varient, car tassement, texture et structure changent la quantité réelle dans la même cuillère ou tasse. Si les grammes paraissent inattendus, c'est souvent un effet physique. Gardez une méthode constante et vérifiez au poids.

FAQ
- Why is sriracha so much heavier than other hot sauces?
- Sriracha's density of 1.319 g/ml reflects its thick chili paste base and high sugar content. Thin vinegar-based hot sauces (like Tabasco) are close to 1.0 g/ml. Sriracha is fundamentally different in texture—it is a concentrated chili paste thinned with vinegar—which is why it weighs over 30% more per cup than water.
- How many grams is 1 tablespoon of sriracha?
- Approximately 19–20 g per tablespoon, based on a density of 1.319 g/ml and a standard US tablespoon of 14.787 ml. This is noticeably heavier than a tablespoon of most thin sauces or vinegars, which weigh 15–16 g.
- Does the brand of sriracha affect the gram weight?
- Slightly. The USDA value (1.319 g/ml) is based on Huy Fong Foods sriracha. Other brands vary in pepper content, sugar level, and water content, which can shift the density by a few percent. For most cooking purposes the difference is negligible, but weigh directly for precision in baking applications.
