Desert Pepper Trading Medium Corn Black Bean Red Pepper Salsa

Desert Pepper Trading Medium Corn Black Bean Red Pepper Salsa arrives on the shelf as a 16 oz jar that reads like a sunny corner of the Southwest. You'd most often find it in the salsa and condiments aisle beside tortilla chips, jarred salsas, canned beans, and Mexican-style simmer sauces, with fresher, refrigerated salsas nearby for comparison. It suits quick weeknight dinners, weekend taco nights, game-day snack spreads, and casual brunches where a chip-and-dip ritual brings people together. The brand leans into an El Paso, Texas identity — rustic, regional, and authentic — targeting shoppers who want bold, approachable ethnic flavors without the fuss of cooking from scratch. Label claims such as "No preservatives, no additives, gluten free, vegan" and "Authentic. Guaranteed authentic" give it a natural-health halo, though there is no organic certification; packaging is straightforward, friendly, and not child-focused. In plain processing terms this is a shelf-stable, jarred salsa made from recognizable ingredients rather than an industrial flavor concentrate. Sensory details: a chunky, slightly saucy texture with bright kernels of corn, tender black beans, diced tomatoes and red pepper, flecks of cilantro, and a mild to medium heat from jalapeno and chipotle; expect a tangy, vinegary lift from distilled vinegar and lime juice and a faint savory depth from tomato paste and spices. Rituals include scooping with a crisp tortilla chip, spooning over grilled fish or tacos, or stirring into grain bowls. Its low-calorie profile (about 20 kcal per serving) and modest sodium (180 mg) are highlighted on the label to appeal to health-conscious convenience seekers.
