It’s not crazy spicy but it’s got a little punch. If you really have a low tolerance, I’d say yes. They make several flavors that aren’t really spicy at all.

Just use a lil bit at a time

Grab a toothpick and taste test it.

This is my favorite hot sauce. So delicious.

I always felt this was the hottest they make, but it’s been a while for me. It’s an awesome sauce nonetheless. Take a small taste and find out!

That one’s not too bad. Avoid the XXXTRA HOT one it might be much for a low spice tolerance

It’s a great sauce to push yourself if you have a low spice tolerance. It’s a very tasty sauce
Shineeyed
Oh yes, you’ll suffer. And you’ll love it.

Is it me or are green sauces generally less spicy?

Yep

You’ll be good. One of the most flavor packed sauces on the planet.

Maybe a little, but it’s not unbearable or anything. It might be towards the upper limit of what you can tolerate, but you should still be able to tolerate it unless you’re a giant wimp.

YES! The people saying no are lying. When you say low tolerance, I’m assuming like 2/10 at a Thai place. And 1 on a 5-point scale. This sauce is super flavorful. But good chance you won’t taste shit if you can’t handle Tabasco. Habaneros are not for low spice tolerance. Stick to Serrano, jalapeño, and Thai chilies sauces.

A bit o burn, but we’ll worth the flavor. Nothing unreasonable, just be careful, I always overdo it!

this sauce paired with cilantro and onion is great

Suffer until you can join the rest of us with no taste buds left.

Definitely. It’s pretty low on the scale of heat but still damn hot for low tolerance folk. This one is great mixed with avocado to dilute the heat.

It’s going to be pretty hot for you if you have a low tolerance, but it’s really tasty.

I had a low tolerance. Then I discovered yucateco and started powering through the pain because it was so good. My tolerance built up QUICKLY
CrowSucker
Yea it’s going to muff you up bad.

Very delicious sauce. You won’t die eating it

This one’s pretty hot actually.
DropTopEWop
You know what, yes. Its kinda hot.

Just try it you fucking coward
buzzinggibberish
IMO anyone with a low spice tolerance would find this sauce quite hot. It tastes great though.
Hossonthesauce
That’s a fantastic sauce. Maybe a good way to build a tolerance and love for spicy sauce.

By the looks of your hand you are Caucasian and knowing you have a low spice tolerance, yes. Just use a little, and add more as needed.
I drench foods with green, but I’m not Caucasian 🤣

Not too bad. I just got some sauce with Pepper X and reapers. It’s truly terrifyingly hot. This one adds a little flavor to the food.
Nah not too bad.
Not as bad as I would with those cuticles.
It’s pretty hot, I have a super high tolerance
Yes
