Content: India is known for chutneys, and soy sauce is the condiment of choice in many Asian cuisines. But which condiment is the most popular in the United States? If you guessed ketchup, you’re dead wrong. Barbecue sauce has been beaten, too, and even ranch dressing doesn’t come out on top. The best-selling condiment in America in terms of annual sales is salsa. Every year, Americans buy more than $460 million worth of salsa, consuming it on everything from chips to tacos to eggs. Salsa first began to outsell ketchup back in 1992 but many people still fail to appreciate just how popular the spicy sauce has become. Salsa, of course, did not originate in the United States. Salsa is the Spanish word for “sauce” and is traditionally used to describe all types of sauce-like condiments used in cuisine. Today, we typically only call red and green sauces with tomato or tomatillo bases “salsa.”
