Ever find yourself wondering whether to use Picante Sauce or Chunky Salsa? Well, you’re not alone. While they may look similar and both kick up the flavor big time, they each have their own place in your pantry.

Picante Sauce

Ideal for cooking, since it’s smoother than salsa with the perfect balance of zesty sauce and crisp vegetables.

Created by David Pace over 60 years ago as a unique cooking sauce to add delicious flavor to all kinds of dishes.

With more rich sauce to go around, it helps dishes stay savory and keeps them from drying out.

A fast, easy way to spice up everyday meals and add flavor to meat, vegetables, pasta, rice, or any dish.
