Homemade Barbecue Sauce (Low Sugar)

Homemade Barbecue Sauce (Low Sugar) is a tangy, vinegar‑forward condiment commonly used in American and barbecue cuisines as a sauce for grilled meats, sandwiches and as a dipping sauce. It is made primarily from tomato purée and vinegar with minimal added sweetener and contains about 9g of sugar per 100g. Nutrition-wise it contributes flavor more than bulk nutrients — it’s low in protein and fat but can provide small amounts of micronutrients such as vitamin A and copper thanks to the tomato base. As a condiment used in small amounts, it can be a relatively reasonable choice for adding flavor, though it’s wise to watch portion sizes because of its sugar and salt content.
