Wise Goat Organics — Cantina Mild Salsa

A certified organic, restaurant-style salsa with a real ingredient list: tomatoes, onion, carrot, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic and citrus. Mild enough for the whole table.

Cantina Mild Salsa is Wise Goat's shelf-stable salsa, handmade from organic vegetables and brightened with apple cider vinegar, lemon and lime rather than citric acid and preservatives. A little chia seed gives it body without starch or gums. It is tomato-forward and lively, with just enough jalapeño to taste and not enough to bother kids. Note that this is their cooked, jarred salsa, not one of their raw ferments, which is why it lives in the pantry and keeps for months.

Who this is for

• You have kids or a spice-shy partner and need a salsa everyone eats
• You read labels and want a salsa without sugar, citric acid or natural flavors
• You keep a pantry stocked for taco night and want a jar that does not need the fridge until opened
• You want organic salsa from a small California maker instead of a national brand
