Common Questions about Austin Slow Burn Mild Green Chili Queso, 12 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This queso has a decent amount of protein (7g per serving) and low sugar, making it a tasty option for dipping. However, it does have a higher sodium content, so if you’re watching your salt intake, that’s something to consider. Think of it as an indulgent treat rather than a health food.
