Did you know...

  • The word salsa entered the English language from the Spanish salsa ("sauce"), which itself derives from the Latin salsa ("salty"), from sal ("salt"). Saline and salad are related words. The proper Spanish pronunciation is [ˈsalsa]; however most British English speakers pronounce it /ˈsɑːlsə/. The Spanish meaning of the word salsa makes the common expression "salsa sauce" redundant.
  • The black bean has a dense, meaty texture and flavor reminiscent of mushrooms, which makes it popular in vegetarian dishes
  • The fresh grapefruit season typically runs from October through June
