H-E-B Mi Tienda Salsa Verde — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates H-E-B Mi Tienda Salsa Verde by H-E-B OKAY — score 62/90.
This is a genuinely short, vegetable-forward tomatillo salsa: tomatillos, jalapenos, onion, garlic, and cilantro with salt. The only non-produce additions are corn starch and xanthan gum to hold the texture. Clean for a jarred salsa, with nothing artificial.
Why this verdict
- Short eight-item list built on real vegetables: tomatillo, jalapeno, onion, garlic, cilantro
- No added sugar, artificial color, or flavor enhancers
- Corn starch and xanthan gum are texture thickeners, the only processing markers
- Salt is the main thing to watch for sodium
- A recognizable taco-night salsa, not an engineered dip
