#BOMBA SAUCE SKIN#
In Trader Joe’s bomba, shards of chile skin and even a few seeds appear in the depths of the jar’s oily, rust-orange mush. How is bomba different from chile oil? Well, the bulk of the paste is crushed pepper. These prove to be vital, giving the rustic paste a nice creaminess. The paste also contains a trace of basil and two kind of oil, sunflower and olive. Like Tabasco and many other classic hot sauces, TJ’s Bomba Sauce is fermented, which accents the peppers in new ways. The Trader Joe’s Bomba Sauce is pepper-forward perfection. It can be concentrated, so that peppers comprise more than 80 percent of the mixture, or it can be milder.

It’s better than the big squeeze bottle of Green Dragon hot sauce, or the fiery habanero hot sauce, or the lemongrass-fragrant sambal that mysteriously disappeared from TJ’s shelves a few years back.
It packs pepper depth and fermented tang. Last summer, Trader Joe’s graced its grocery shoppers with a hot, creamy, and tangy sauce I've been using religiously ever since. Fighting words: it might be better than Everything But the Elote.
