I mixed them to try to make it palatable without wasting any.</P> <P>In the store, I thought they'll probably taste exactly the same, being poured into jars in the same factory with different labels slapped on. Wrong. Who knew there could be such a vast difference in similar recipes and why does Mission think they have to saturate theirs with salt to make it taste good?</P> <P>Newman's rocks!</P> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 21:25:14 GMT Free2be 2011-08-17T21:25:14Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Comparing-Salsas-and-Sodium/m-p/106746#M51201 <P>I buy store bought salsa almost never so wanted to taste-test for the heck of it.
