Kroger Diced Tomatoes With Jalapenos
What it is
This is a can of diced tomatoes that have been seasoned with chopped jalapeno peppers. The tomatoes are typically packed in their own juice, which adds flavor and moisture to dishes. The jalapenos provide a mild to moderate level of heat and a distinct pepper flavor. This combination offers a convenient way to add both tomato and a touch of spice to your cooking without needing to chop fresh ingredients.
