Ketchup — Nutrition & Culinary Profile

Ketchup is a classic, sweet-and-tangy tomato-based condiment enriched with vinegar, sugar, and a blend of spices. Its smooth, thick consistency makes it an ideal glaze, dipping sauce, or flavor enhancer for burgers and fries. It brings a bright acidity and rich umami note to both everyday meals and complex sauces.
