Ketchup
Ketchup is a popular tomato-based condiment used worldwide to flavor fries, burgers and many prepared foods; it originated from 19th-century Western adaptations of Asian sauces and is known for its sweet-tangy flavor. Nutritionally it tends to be high in added sugars — about 21.5g per 100g — and is typically used in small amounts rather than as a main ingredient. While it contributes some tomato-derived antioxidants and modest vitamin content, its sugar and salt content mean it’s best used sparingly or swapped for lower-sugar or fresher tomato-based condiments when trying to reduce added sugars and sodium.
