FIRECELY SPICY BANANA CATSUP TAMIS ANGAS 320 g – UFC

UFC Tamis Angas Spicy Banana Ketchup is a flagship product of Filipino cuisine and a flavor that has permanently become part of the local culinary tradition. Known for its characteristic sweet, sour, and spicy profile and its vibrant red color (despite being banana-based), it is the Filipino counterpart to Western ketchup. The name Tamis Angas signifies the combination of sweetness (tamis) and spiciness (angas), perfectly capturing its complex character. The main ingredient of this unique sauce is banana (instead of tomatoes), which, combined with vinegar, sugar, salt, and chili, creates a thick, velvety consistency. This is the spicy version, ideal for those seeking an extra kick of heat in their dishes. UFC sauce is an essential accompaniment to fried chicken, lumpia, burgers, as well as fries and any grilled dishes. It adds an exotic, tropical character to every meal. The producer, UFC, is a leading brand in the Philippines.

Banana Ketchup is one of the most innovative and historically important foods of the Philippines, originally created during World War II in response to tomato shortages. Instead, Dr. Maria Y. Orosa utilized the bananas abundantly available on the islands, creating a unique product that became a symbol of national creativity. The UFC brand is one of the leading and most recognized producers of this delicacy, faithfully delivering the traditional Filipino flavor. The Tamis Angas version is a nod to those who enjoy a stronger experience. While standard banana ketchup is sweet and sour, this variant is enriched with a distinct yet balanced addition of chili and spices that awakens the taste buds.

The sauce maintains its universal role—it is equally good for simple snacks and complex meat dishes. You can use it as a marinade, a glaze for roasts, or even as a spicy component in dips and sandwich sauces. From a nutritional perspective, UFC banana ketchup is a light condiment—it is nearly fat-free and low in calories, making it a great choice for those who want to add flavor to their food without adding fat. The banana base provides natural thickness, the E1450 stabilizer maintains the perfect consistency, and the E120 colorant (cochineal) gives it the appetizing, tomato-like appearance that is typical for this type of ketchup.

If you want to discover the authentic and unparalleled flavors of Asia, this spicy banana ketchup is an absolute must-have. It's the perfect product to introduce an exotic touch to your kitchen that will satisfy both adults and children (especially in the mild version, although Tamis Angas is a proposition for the more adventurous). UFC guarantees you receive a proven, high-quality product that is the pride of Filipino cuisine.
