Del Monte Petite Cut Diced Tomatoes With Zesty Jalapenos
What it is
These are small, diced tomatoes that have been enhanced with the flavor of zesty jalapeno peppers. They come in a convenient can, ready to be added to your favorite dishes. The petite cut means the pieces are smaller than standard diced tomatoes, offering a more uniform texture in your cooking. The addition of jalapenos provides a mild, pleasant heat that complements the natural sweetness of the tomatoes.
