About Pico de gallo

Pico de Gallo, often called "salsa fresca," is a vibrant Mexican condiment made from fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Known for its crisp texture and bold flavors, this uncooked mixture is a staple in Mexican cuisine, commonly served alongside tacos, grilled dishes, or as a dip with tortilla chips. Its health benefits stem from the nutrient-rich ingredients; tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene, while onions and cilantro offer vitamins and minerals. Lime juice adds a dose of vitamin C, and jalapeños can boost metabolism with capsaicin. Pico de Gallo is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a nutritious addition to many meals. However, mindful use of salt can help maintain its heart-healthiness. With its refreshing taste and wholesome profile, it’s a flavorful way to enhance dishes while contributing to a balanced diet.
