Compared to jalapeno, habanero, scotch bonnet, etc.

  1. It’s fairly mild. It’s a very good salsa verde but not a salsa I’d recommend if someone wants something notably spicy. Imo it tastes like a good salsa verde with some chile de arbol blended in. It’s 1 of my fav salsa verdes though, similar to the Herdez one but with more of a kick from what I assume is chile de arbol

    just had a spoonful. it’s got a little kick. nothing at all like a habanero or Scotch bonnett salsa.

    It’s mildly spicy, might just touch on medium heat . Very enjoyable.

    For widely available Verdes I prefer Goya Tangy Green, but I wont turn any down 😄

    It’s a 2/3 on their brand’s spice level scale. Clearly a lot of people here pride themselves on loving extra spicy stuff, but it fits squarely in the medium category in my opinion. Calling it mild is exaggerating.

    Not at all, maybe a modern jalapeno salsa is a good comparison? My favorite from this brand (and we get all of them because I’m in Texas) is the “Taqueria Salsa”. It has a nice heat to it and tastes good.

    Not to say this tastes bad, it doesn’t. It’s just not particularly hot.

    Not at all, an absolute trash sauce. Buy some basic ingredients at the supermarket and make your own in 20 minutes.
