CHI-CHI's Medium Salsa - Food Review

Not surprisingly, salsa is one of people's favorite condiments. This rich tomato flavor that goes so nicely with chips and cheese is usually high on a shopping list of snack foods. While no one could argue that a rich and spicy homemade version is usually the most flavorful, CHI-CHI's Medium Salsa is definitely one of the best brands of supermarket options.

This brand definitely knows what people love about salsa. Thick and chunky pieces of tomato in a spicy sauce that contains all natural ingredients. The blend of crushed tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, salt, vinegar, garlic and onion makes for a very tasty and satisfying accompaniment to a bowl of warm tortilla chips. When added to a plate piled high with nachos, this condiment only enhances the other flavors instead of distracting from them.

A two tablespoon serving of this salsa contains just ten calories. There is absolutely no Fat in this product which is a wonderful piece of news for those of us looking to enjoy our snacks, but not gain any unnecessary weight. There is one hundred and fifty milligrams of Sodium in this serving size, which equals to six percent of the daily recommended value. Those consumers who have been advised to carefully watch their Sodium intake may be able to make allowances in other areas to enjoy this salsa from time to time. There is two grams of Total Carbohydrate, two grams of Sugar and two percent of Vitamin C. All things considered, this condiment is surely a better option than a fatty dip.

I usually manage to catch this brand on sale and pay only about two dollars for a twenty four ounce glass jar. Even at the regular price of three dollars and change, it is still a bargain. I have paid more than four dollars for a smaller jar of other brands and was not any more impressed than I am with this one. When shopping for a party or gathering of close friends, the cost of providing a nice selection of tasty snacks can definitely put a dent in the food budget. I love that this product is so inexpensive, but so tasty.

Whether you enjoy your tortilla chips with just a splash of salsa, or love to heap them with cheese, olives, peppers and onions, CHI-CHI's Medium Salsa is a perfect choice for snacking. The thickness of it keeps the tortillas from getting soggy, and the medium spice is not too overpowering for those who have sensitive stomachs. Even my children love this product and they can be counted on to turn their noses up at foods that are too zesty. I definitely consider this salsa to be the best of the best and give it an enthusiastic five out of five stars. Pick some up today for your holiday gathering. You will not be disappointed.
