Trader Joe's Pepita Salsa, 340g

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 flavourful treat that can bring a serious savoury factor to pretty much anything they're added to, be it a pesto sauce, trail mix, or TJ’s Pepita Salsa.

By combining the bright, zesty tomato and pepper flavours of a traditional chunky salsa with the texture and nuttiness of finely chopped pepitas, TJ's Pepita Salsa has created a savoury 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 flavour 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 TJ’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 TJ’s Quinoa & Black Bean Infused Tortilla Chips), to a topping for jackfruit tacos, or as the sauce for homemade chilaquiles.
