Summary
This tomatillo salsa verde contains beneficial ingredients like tomatillos, jalapeno peppers, onions, and garlic, which provide vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of natural flavors and xanthan gum, which limits its score. The presence of these additives and the processing level prevent it from achieving a higher rating despite its nutritious components.
