🌍 Origin & History
Ketchup has been an American table staple since the late 1800s when HJ Heinz began bottling his tomato-based recipe. The problem? Modern ketchup is loaded with high-fructose corn syrup — roughly 4g of sugar per tablespoon. Our version keeps the tangy-sweet tomato flavor using allulose, a natural sweetener that doesn't spike blood sugar. Perfect for anyone managing diabetes who refuses to give up ketchup.
🧐 Why This Recipe Works for Diabetics
Traditional ketchup uses high-fructose corn syrup. We replaced with allulose/monk fruit for zero glycemic impact.
