Desert Pepper Trading Mild Divino Salsa, 16 oz, Pack of 6

Desert Pepper Trading Mild Divino Salsa — 16 oz, Pack of 6

Desert Pepper Trading Company was founded in 1990 in El Paso, Texas — at the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert, the largest desert in North America, where Southwestern and Mexican culinary traditions intersect. The brand built its reputation by doing something most jarred salsa producers don't: using real roasted peppers and fresh vegetables without artificial preservatives, relying instead on natural acidity (pH ~4 from tomatoes and lime) to stabilize the product. The Divino is their classic mild salsa — tomatoes, onion, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, and lime — accessible to the whole family but with the ingredient integrity that distinguishes it from mass-market salsas. Tomatoes provide lycopene, the red carotenoid with the highest singlet oxygen quenching capacity of the major dietary carotenoids; the tomato processing (chopping and heating) actually increases lycopene bioavailability by breaking down cell walls and releasing it from chromoplast protein complexes. Even mild jalapeño contributes trace capsaicin, which activates TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) channels and triggers endorphin release. Gluten-free, kosher, no artificial preservatives. Pack of 6 × 16 oz jars.
