The most commonly consumed tomato-based products, tomato sauce
and ketchup, are often loaded with sugar. Ketchup provides 1 teaspoon of sugar per 1 tablespoon of product. Considering most people use closer to 2 to 4 tablespoons of ketchup, this can really add up. Use ketchup sparingly or consider using another condiment such as mustard. Tomato sauce is best when homemade so you can control the ingredients. Ketchup is one of the most popular condiments worldwide, but — like BBQ sauce — it’s often loaded with sugar. Try to be mindful of your portion size when using ketchup, and remember that a single tablespoon of ketchup contains nearly 1 teaspoon of sugar.
