Pepita Salsa

"We're famously infatuated with pumpkin. You could call it our bread and butter. Honestly, you could go even farther and call it our Pumpkin Bread and Pumpkin Butter. But we hope that in all the pumpkin craze, we don't overshadow one of the best parts of the pumpkin, the seed. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are an exceptionally crunchy, slightly nutty, deliciously flavorful treat that can bring a serious savory factor to pretty much anything they're added to, be it a pesto sauce, trail mix, or Trader Joe's Pepita Salsa. By combining the bright, zesty tomato and pepper flavors of a traditional chunky salsa with the texture and nuttiness of finely chopped pepitas, our Pepita Salsa has created a savory synthesis of seed and spice. Not only do the pepitas add a nice thickness to the salsa's body, making it even easier to scoop up with a tortilla or corn chip, but their hearty, earthy flavor expertly balances the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar. On top of that, each bite of Pepita Salsa also carries the delicate sweet heat of puréed bell pepper and chipotle spices, making this one seriously satisfying salsa. Please join us in welcoming Trader Joe's Pepita Salsa to our legendary family of pumpkin products. To celebrate, we recommend using it in any situation that calls for salsa, from a classic chips and salsa appetizer (especially with Trader Joe's Quinoa & Black Bean Infused Tortilla Chips), to a topping for jackfruit tacos, or as the sauce for homemade chilaquiles."
