Trend topic — the perfect ketchup
Eliminate sugar and salt without compromising texture
Ketchup is one of the most popular condiment sauces, which is highly appreciated in many countries around the world. It can be a delicious addition to many dishes, including fries, hot dogs, and burgers. The disadvantage of ketchup is the high sugar and salt content. The trend among consumers is toward conscious consumption of healthier foods. Manufacturers must optimize the nutritional value of their products, and reduce sugar and salt content. However, sugar not only makes the ketchup sweeter, but also gives it a pleasant texture.
The origins of ketchup
…Before ketchup became known as tomato sauce in the USA, it originated in Asia in the 17th century. Back then, it mainly consisted of fish, kidney beans, mushrooms and nuts.
