[–] fidodo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (4 children) There are so many no sugar added ketchups. They're not hard to find. Also, how do you feel about BBQ sauce? They're also loaded with sugar, moreso than ketchup. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) BBQ basically is ketchup with brown sugar and other smokey flavor added in permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nudding@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago The only time I really use bbq sauce is as a marinade before something goes on the grill, never really as a dip. The only time I use ketchup is as an ingredient/thin glaze in/on meatloaf before the oven. permalink fedilink source parent [–] poppy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago Yes my favorite ketchups only have the original sugars from the vegetables used. And usually have some richer spices and more prominent vinegar. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BorgDrone@lemmy.one 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) There are so many no sugar added ketchups. They're not hard to find. Unfortunately those usually contain artificial sweeteners and still taste way too sweet. I finally managed to find one local (to the Netherlands) brand that sells ketchup without added sugars or sweeteners. The brand was actually started by a person with diabetes who wanted to cut out all sugar from her diet. It’s so much better than the standard Heinz stuff. Much more savory, you can actually taste the tomatoes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fidodo@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago It of course depends on the market. In California they are not hard to find. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I tend to avoid sweet stuff in general-- I don't dislike it but I'm not often in the mood for it. I eat ketchup sometimes but I more often put sriracha on fries. BBQ sauce that isn't disgustingly sweet is difficult to find, and I'd love more ketchup options to be widely available. There's a reason heinz had 57 varieties dammit! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fidodo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* Everyone has their personal preferences, that's totally fine. I just think saying ketchup is disgusting because it commonly has some sugar in it is a ridiculous statement that ignores a ton of cuisine. Even ketchup that has sugar in it doesn't have nearly as much as a lot of other sweet and savory foods so I don't understand why it gets singled out so much. permalink fedilink source parent
