About Ketchup

Ketchup is a popular condiment made primarily from tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Originating in Asia as a fermented fish sauce, it evolved into the tomato-based version widely recognized today, gaining prominence in Western cuisine during the 19th century. Its tangy, slightly sweet flavor pairs well with a variety of foods, from fries to burgers. Tomatoes used in ketchup provide antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health and offers potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, most commercial ketchup varieties contain significant amounts of added sugar and sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their intake. For a healthier option, look for low-sugar or organic versions with minimal additives. Ketchup is versatile and enhances flavor, but it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
