About Verde sauce

Verde sauce, commonly known as green sauce, is a vibrant and tangy condiment rooted in Mexican cuisine. It’s traditionally crafted from tomatillos, green chilies like serranos or jalapeños, onions, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice. The ingredients are blended or simmered to create a smooth and flavorful sauce that pairs well with tacos, enchiladas, grilled meats, or as a dip. Rich in vitamin C from tomatillos and lime, this sauce provides antioxidants and immune-boosting benefits. Additionally, cilantro contributes detoxifying properties. Verde sauce is generally low in calories and fat, making it a healthy addition to meals. However, sodium content should be monitored when store-bought versions are used. Its bold flavor adds zest without excessive calories, but those sensitive to spicy foods should note its heat level can vary depending on the chilies used. Simple, fresh, and versatile, verde sauce is a flavorful way to elevate dishes.
