What You Should Know

You'd spot this jar in the salsa aisle or on a picnic table—ready to be scooped onto chips at a game-day spread or served with tacos at a weekend brunch. It gives a fresh, home-style, slightly nostalgic vibe that feels wholesome and convenient. The ingredient list and jarred form suggest minimal industrial processing—chunky texture preserved with vinegar and salt rather than heavy reformulation, pointing away from ultra-processed products.
