Of course, we eat foods for more than just nutrients and fuel. If it wasn't abundantly clear, I love the taste of sriracha. "I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to put this condiment onto your meals, especially if you are putting it on healthy foods likes whole grains, vegetables and eggs," Lockwood says. "Plus, it helps mask the taste of these 'healthy' foods for those who don’t have an intrinsic taste for healthier foods." If you want to add a kick to your food, then you might want to consider using spices instead, which might have less sodium, she says. But then again, research suggests that when you eat foods that you like , your body absorbs the nutrients better — which is enough for me to keep using sriracha.
