Last February 17, NELA students took a tour of the famous Sriracha sauce factory. I’m sure you have seen, or heard, of the famous sauce in most restaurants, as it has become quite popular in recent years. It’s difficult to miss with its distinctive bright red color and green top.
We were very lucky to see the inside operations and workings of such a popular item. The tour guide gave us some history about the owner and how kind he is to all his workers. She guided us through their shipping warehouse and the processing machines. The machines were loud and had many moving parts and processes. It was fascinating to see how much work and effort is placed to provide the public with something we often take for granted. The students were curious and excited to see everything put together from simple elements and ingredients.
At the end of the tour, we were taken to their merchandise store and we were given a free, small bottle, of Sriracha.
They were very kind and helpful to us, even though we had a torrential downpour that day. We hope we can visit again to get the full tour, as we were given a limited one due to the rain. It was a great experience and students enjoyed it.
