What You Should Know

You’d spot this 16 oz jar in the condiment/salsa aisle or on a snack table at taco night—an easy, everyday option for chips, tacos, or weeknight dinners that feels fresh and practical. The short list of recognizable vegetables with a couple of technical additives (calcium chloride, citric acid) points to basic canning/preservation and texture control rather than heavy formulation or novel ingredients.
