Hot sauce is a great example of a big American food and drink industry (estimated overall worth between $2 and $3 BILLION) that would not exist had it not been for the Black and Brown communities and food cultures from whence hot sauces and pepper sauces not only originate but also have some of the highest consumption indices. Yet nearly ALL of the top seling hot sauce companies in America are NOT Black or Brown owned businesses…
Nor are most top selling food items born out of “ethnic” food cultures.
Of course there’s much more to the story. ⬇️
