More about Lizano Salsa

Apparently, this stuff is the staple of all Costa Rican cooking. Since the label is in Spanish, I didn't know what was in it... until now:

Water, sugar, salt, vegetables, (onions, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers), spices, acetic acid, pepper, starch, hydrolyzed corn protein, tumeric, sodium benzoate, sodium bisulfite and sulfur dioxide

Who knew.

The flavor is quite mild for what we gringos think of as "salsa." It's more like Worcestire sauce. It has a slightly sweet flavor with just a slight zesty kick.

I looked at the prices online, and most places charge a hefty premium for importing this Costa Rican equivalent of ketchup. (It is apparently that ubiquitous there.) But if you want to buy a half-gallon, it's only $6.95 at this site!

They sell Lizano for as low as $5.99 if you buy in bulk at a site called CostaRicaProducts.com.

Since I come from a Costa Rican family, I have to say that lizano salsa is not just used as a condiment; check out these Lizano recipes.

Pura Vida!
