Catsup, commonly known as ketchup, is a tangy and sweet condiment with a predominantly tomato base, often blended with vinegar, sugar, salt, and a variety of spices such as cloves or onion powder. Originating from 18th-century adaptations of Asian fish-based sauces, modern catsup has become a staple in American and global cuisines, frequently paired with fries, burgers, and other savory dishes. While low in calories per serving, its high sugar and sodium content can be a concern when consumed in excess. Tomatoes, the key ingredient, offer some antioxidants like lycopene, which are associated with heart health. However, processed variants may lack the nutritional richness of fresh tomatoes. Opting for reduced-sodium or low-sugar varieties can make catsup a healthier choice. Its versatility and bold flavor make it a kitchen favorite despite varying nutritional considerations.
