Ida-Mild Cucumber Watermelon Jalapeño Hot Sauce - 5 oz

Bear Spray Idaho operates from Star, Idaho, and traces the wider Bear Spray brand’s story to a hot sauce kit experiment in 2019. The brand identifies Terry Holmes as its recipe creator and Christy as the person running Idaho operations. Its story centers on family, hard work and pepper flavor balanced with heat, bringing Alaska roots into an Idaho-focused range of sauces and seasoned snacks.

Ida-Mild Cucumber Watermelon Jalapeño Hot Sauce - 5 oz

Ida-Mild pairs jalapeño with cucumber and watermelon for a green hot sauce focused on fresh flavor. The supplier describes a gentle kick, a refreshing finish and a recipe that works across tacos, seafood, eggs and grilled chicken. Its mild position in the Ida range makes it the starting point for comparing the brand’s four heat styles. Cucumber and watermelon give the recipe a different direction from the ghost pepper and Scorpion sauces in the same family. Choose it when you want a finishing condiment that brings brightness and pepper character to the meal.

Serving ideas

Try Ida-Mild over cooked fish tacos, alongside grilled chicken or as a small addition to scrambled eggs. For a salad, mix a little into a separate portion of dressing and taste before dressing the full bowl. It can also give a rice bowl or roasted vegetables a fresh finishing note. Keep the rest of the seasoning simple during your first tasting so you can judge the cucumber, watermelon and jalapeño combination. Mild is the supplier’s relative heat description; individual preferences still vary.

Ingredients and allergen information

Reference label ingredients: water, distilled vinegar, cider vinegar, spice, jalapeño pepper, cucumber, watermelon, xanthan gum. The pictured label is a reference for the named sauce; compare it with the actual current bottle before use. No gluten-free, allergen-free, organic, preservative-free or U.S.-grown ingredient claim is made. For help interpreting declarations, see the independent FDA guide to food allergen labels.

Storage and serving care

Follow the storage and handling directions on the bottle you receive. The available supplier information does not establish a product-specific refrigeration requirement, unopened shelf life or period for use after opening, so none is promised here. Keep the closure clean, use clean utensils if mixing a portion into another sauce, and retain the bottle label for ingredient checks. For a tasting, identify every bottle and keep each portion separate so guests can choose their own sauce.
