Questions

What kind of gathering is Backyard Bites designed for?
It is built for relaxed cookouts and casual outdoor entertaining, with salsas, dip mix, rubs and taco seasoning that cover snacking, grilling and easy meal prep.
How can I use Backyard Bites for a cookout menu?
Put Black Bean & Corn and Fire-Roasted Cantina Salsas out for snacking, use the rubs on grilled meats, make Crunchy Onion & Garlic Dip as a side, and keep Tejas Taco Seasoning for tacos or grilled fillings.
Is Backyard Bites only for grilling?
No. The salsas and dip mix are ready for casual entertaining, while the rubs and taco seasoning also work in the oven, skillet or sheet pan when the grill is not in use.
How spicy are your salsas?
Most of our salsas are mild and full of flavor, and we mark them with a pepper ranking for guidance. Our mildest are Black Bean & Corn Salsa, Peach Salsa, Texas Tango Mango Salsa and Cilantro Salsa. Fire-Roasted Cantina Salsa and Verde Chile Salsa are just a hint more spicy, then it's up a little more with Pedernales Picante Sauce. Habanero Salsa dials up the spice quite a bit (but is delicious!) and our Demon Salsa, with ghost chile, is the spiciest of all. Our Hill Country Caviar and Blanco River Applekraut are not technically salsas, but they are in the same salsa-sized jar, and are wonderful and versatile meal accompaniments.
What are your bestselling salsas?
Our Pedernales Picante Sauce is our best-seller online. When we include the wonderful stores who sell our salsas, the most popular salsa is Fire-Roasted Cantina, followed by Black Bean & Corn, Peach Salsa, Verde Chile Salsa and Cilantro Salsa.
What's the difference between a fire-roasted salsa and a regular salsa?
Fire-roasting gives tomatoes and peppers a deeper, smokier character than a fresher-style salsa. New Canaan Farms Fire-Roasted Cantina Salsa is our most popular salsa partly because the flavor is so robust and rounded.
Is fruit salsa actually sweet, and what do you eat it with?
Our fruit salsas are sweeter than our regular salsas, combining chunks of ripe fruit with a spicy tomato and herb base. Both are really unusual and well-loved by those who try. Our Peach Salsa is a particular Texas favorite.
Which salsa should I buy for a party or game day?
For a crowd, a familiar, versatile salsa is usually the easiest starting point, while a second fruit-forward or hotter salsa gives guests a choice. New Canaan Farms offers everything from Fire-Roasted Cantina and Black Bean & Corn to Peach, Mango, Habanero, and Demon Salsa, so you can build a spread with contrasting flavors and heat levels.
What makes New Canaan Farms salsa different from a typical supermarket salsa?
Our salsas are handcrafted in small batches in Utopia, Texas, with a high concentration of vegetables, herbs and spices. We add no fillers, artificial flavors or preservatives.
How long does an unopened jar of salsa last?
New Canaan Farms jarred products are shelf-stable for up to two years unopened. Check the best-by information on the jar and store it in a cool, dry place until you are ready to open it.
Does salsa need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Refrigerate New Canaan Farms salsa after opening and consume within two weeks for the best flavor.
Are New Canaan Farms salsas vegetarian or vegan?
All New Canaan Farms salsas are vegetarian and vegan. Check the individual product page for exact ingredient and nutrition details.
Are your salsas gluten-free?
Yes, our salsas are gluten free. Check the individual product page for the most current dietary and allergen information.
