Review: Wholemato Spicy Organic Agave Ketchup
Right out of the bottle this sauce hits you with spiced up flavor mirrored with a wonderfully rich tasting mouth-feel. It’s not watered down like store bottled ketchup nor is it as sweet as many familiar brands on the market. A simple scan of the ingredients shows that the lineup is entirely organic and gluten-free, starting with organic tomato puree and finishing with hickory smoke flavor. “Wholemato Organic Ketchups… have been certified as Low-Glycemic for Diabetics by the Glycemic Research Institute due to their remarkable low score on the glycemic index.” It’s also nice to see that the ketchup is packaged in a solid glass bottle and not the familiar plastic tub that many have come to recognize.
By itself the sauce has excellent body, and can stand on its own against many BBQ sauces. The chili peppers give the ketchup a nice spicy bite while the agave nectar gives a subtle sweetness that lingers on the tongue to help offset too much heat. The aroma of the ketchup when first opened smells of freshed smoked tomato sauce, done over a low fire for hours. I highly recommend this sauce for those that love ketchup with an added kick. It has loads of fresh tasting flavor that goes well with ribs, burgers, chicken and pork.
The suggested retail price for the ketchup is $5.49, and is available at Whole Foods Markets and many other chains and independent retailers across the United States. Wholemato is a family run business that cares about its products and the health of their customers by supporting sustainable organic agriculture.
