What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the salsa/condiment aisle or on the refrigerated salsa shelf, snagged last-minute for taco night, a backyard cookout, or chips-and-dip at a party. It gives a fresh, zesty, homemade vibe — bright, herbaceous, and a little spicy — evoking casual gatherings and simple, wholesome flavors. The short ingredient list of whole tomatoes, peppers, herbs, vinegar and salt suggests a chunky, minimally altered texture and points to a packaged ready-to-eat product that is processed but not ultra-processed.
