Ketchup 2.0

Move over Heinz—healthful ketchups are stealing the spotlight. By replacing sugar or high fructose corn syrup with agave nectar (a natural sweetener), Wholemato has filled a niche for those of us looking for a natural and tasty ketchup. Original Organic Agave Ketchup has a stellar ingredient list—simply a blend of organic tomatoes with spices and agave nectar. Agave, which is comprised primarily of fructose, does not adversely impact blood glucose and insulin, making it ideal for diabetics. Last but not least, organic ketchups contain as much as 57 percent more lycopene, a powerful antioxidant, than brands using conventional tomatoes. Pour it on! -Denise Shoukas
