š„ SUMMARY
A low-fat, low-protein, high-flavor sauce ā rich in lycopene, capsaicin, and polyphenols, mildly stimulating metabolism.
Cooking boosts bioavailability of lycopene (~30% increase), slightly reduces vitamin C (~10ā15% loss), and helps blend flavors while maintaining low caloric density.
This recipe hits clean-label performance with solid micronutrient density for a condiment ā and that mild metabolic edge from capsaicin + vinegar + honey synergy.
