Dips and salsas add flavor and texture to many meals and snacks. This category includes a wide variety of products, from creamy options like French Onion Dip to chunky, vegetable-rich salsas, and plant-based choices such as hummus. These items can be enjoyed with vegetables, chips, or as spreads. When selecting dips and salsas, checking the Nutrition Facts label and ingredient list can help you make informed choices. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting added sugars, which can be found in some sweet salsas or certain creamy dips. Many products in this category can also contribute significantly to your daily sodium intake; the FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. For a more nutrient-dense option, look for salsas where whole vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, or onions are among the first ingredients. Hummus, made primarily from chickpeas, is often a good source of dietary fiber. For creamy dips, consider saturated fat content, as the DGA recommends keeping saturated fat intake under 10% of daily calories. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
