Pizza sauce is a zesty tomato-based condiment that forms the flavorful foundation of many pizzas, rooted in Italian cuisine. Made from ripe tomatoes, it's typically blended with herbs like oregano, basil, and garlic, and often seasoned with olive oil, salt, and occasionally a hint of sugar for balance. Its vibrant flavor pairs seamlessly with a variety of toppings and cheeses. Pizza sauce is naturally low in calories and fat, while tomatoes provide a source of antioxidants like lycopene, which may have health benefits. However, store-bought versions can sometimes contain added sugar, sodium, or preservatives, so checking the label is key. For a healthier option, homemade versions allow for control over ingredients, offering a fresh and wholesome take on this classic sauce.
