About Tablespoon of ketchup
A tablespoon of ketchup is a popular condiment made from ripe tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and spices. Originating from Asian fermented fish sauces and evolving through European culinary traditions, modern ketchup became a staple in American cuisine. It’s typically paired with fried foods, burgers, and sandwiches, adding sweetness and tanginess to meals. Nutritionally, a tablespoon contains around 15 calories, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and minimal protein or fat. While it provides a small dose of vitamins A and C from the tomatoes, the sugar and sodium content can be a concern when consumed in large quantities. Many brands now offer reduced-sugar or low-sodium versions for health-conscious consumers. Overall, ketchup adds flavor without significant calories but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
