Low-sodium ketchup

08 April 2014 By Randal Oulton 7 Comments

Low-sodium ketchup

  We were brought up as Heinz Ketchup kids. I love the ketchup and use it daily — here’s my write-up on the history, etc of ketchup. In the spring of 2013, I switched to Heinz’s low-sodium version of their ketchup, which I think was still kinda new at the time. Pictured above is the…

Heinz Ketchup vs Heinz Tangy Tomato Pickle

Tomato Ketchup vs Tomato Pickle

  These two very similar products from the same maker, Heinz, are a great example of why a little bit of one-time analysis can pay off forever. In my review of Heinz’s Tangy Tomato Pickle, I confessed that I’m a fan now — it’s basically a grown up ketchup. (But I’m such a ketchup fan…

Low-fat fat: it really exists

04 April 2014 By Randal Oulton Leave a Comment

  I had joked a few times about there being “low-fat fat”, so you can imagine how gob-smacked I was when I saw this product — Atora Light Shredded Vegetable Suet — appear on the store shelf. Who knew? I haven’t had an occasion to use it yet, but when I do I will report…

Maldon Salt

Maldon Salt

  Maldon Salt has been my go-to salt of choice since I discovered it in England in the late 1990s. It’s got a pure clean salt taste, but best of all, the salt is in flakes which provide a wonderful crunch on top of your food. The salt is extracted from the mud flats along…

Sugar in ketchup

Sugar in Ketchup

  What’s the ketchup with the lowest amount of refined sugar in it? That’s the question I set out to answer for myself. Most people never realize how fattening ketchup can be. If anything, they think “oh, tomatoes, something in there that might fight cancer, healthy.” But most brands of ketchup add a boatload of…

Shopping for low-sodium foods

15 September 2013 By Randal Oulton Leave a Comment

Low-sodium food products

In the spring of 2013, I began the hunt for low-sodium processed foods to purchase. And yes, I agree. It’s crazy if “normal sodium” has to be called “low sodium”, but that just goes to show you how bad things have got.1 And yes, I know the obvious suggestion — make everything yourself from scratch….

Salt Substitutes

Salt-Substitutes

  In 2013, I began the hunt for salt substitutes as part of the salt management strategy for my kitchen. My initial research made me aware of a few things. There are substitute products, and substitute techniques; Some salt substitute products / techniques approach the “substitute” angle by trying to replicate the taste and chemistry…

Salt management strategy: it’s time your kitchen had one

Salt Management Strategy

  Oh, I hear you. I was there. I said the exact same thing — “what kind of loser needs to worry about salt reduction.” Well, my answer now would be, “Do it now before it’s done to you. Because if you do it now, you can likely enjoy a lifetime of merrily enjoying gourmet…
