The 34-year-old actress and entrepreneur is addicted to hot sauce and fears the spicy condiment will give her an ulcer because she uses "gallons" of it every day.

Asked about her diet, the brunette beauty said: "I try to always have a salad, and I always make my own salad dressing--it just tastes better. I'll often make a chicken quesadilla with corn tortillas--and gallons of hot sauce. Literally. It's like I'm trying to burn a hole through my stomach. It's so good. It's such a problem.

"I have five or six different types in my fridge. Anything habanero-Caribbean-flavoured, I'm down with."

The 'Sin City' star's eldest daughter Honor, seven, is also a fan.

She told Delish.com: "Honor wants Cholula on all of her tacos, on her breakfast--even her eggs, like breakfast tacos--and she'll straight pour it on chicken. If I make roasted chicken, she'll want Cholula on it."

Jessica, who also has three-year-old daughter Haven with husband Cash Warren, is relieved both of her children enjoy eating salads, especially with carrot and avocado.

She said: "They go bananas for it. They'll chow on that, even if they have their favorite pasta or hamburgers, or whatever with it, they'll eat that first. I don't even have to ask them to eat their veg."

While she is usually very healthy, the star admits she does have one guilty pleasure.

She said: "Nachos. I'm not much of a sweets person. I actually have low blood sugar and low blood pressure, and I get very woozy if I don't have enough salt ... when I do hot yoga, water isn't enough. I need to have salty water or I'll have coconut water."
