Low Carb Ketchup from Heinz

Reuters reports that Heinz is introducing a low-carb ketchup:

The new “One Carb” ketchup is the latest in a string of variations within Heinz’s $1.2 billion ketchup business in recent years. […] The new ketchup has only one gram of carbohydrates, 75 percent fewer than Heinz’ regular ketchup, the company said. […]

I’m not on Atkins, though I am going with The Zone (which has a reduction in some carbohydrates). And, since reducing my sugar intake, some foods with sugar now taste sweet to me.

In particular, both ketchup and barbecue sauce have plenty of sugar (or, even worse, corn syrup). And, these days, my sensitivity to the taste of sugar is high enough that regular ketchup just tastes oddly sweet to me (almost like sugared-tomatoes, which isn’t far from the truth).

So, it’ll be nice to make use of this upcoming One Carb ketchup from Heinz. If nothing else, I’m looking forward to it for the improved taste over regular ketchup :).
