Ketchup without added sugar & BBQ sauce with erythritol

Sauces without sugar or added sugar - sweet and rare

22 g of sugar are contained in 100 g of conventional ketchup. Considering that the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies a maximum of 25 g of sugar per day as safe, that's quite a lot. For children, the recommended daily intake is reduced by half again, which is why sauces without sugar or added sugar are recommended, especially for our little foodies. The amount of sugar contained in ketchup is comparable to that of chocolate. It's sweet, it tastes good, but healthy is different. Some leading sauce suppliers have already come up with this idea and have partially replaced the sugar with alternative sweeteners such as stevioglycosides. Sauces without sugar or added sugar are on the rise - because too much sugar consumption leads to tangible problems, experts generally agree. "Type 2 diabetes and obesity are coming at us like a tsunami, not only in Germany, but in many countries," Erhard Siegel, president of the German Diabetes Society (DDG), told Spiegel Online. So: It's better to reach for ketchup without added sugar.

Sugar-free and still delicious: sugar-free sauces

Now, the efforts of food manufacturers to reduce added sugar may seem laudable, but unfortunately this does not make everything better. As the Stiftung Warentest found, some conventional sauces with sweeteners compromise on taste - so not really a satisfactory solution. The good news: if you're concerned about your healthy diet and that of your children, you'll find an alternative in our Xucker sauces with no added sugar. And they taste really good! Going without was yesterday. That's why we developed our two ketchups: Xucker Xylitol Ketchup and, as a calorie-reduced version, Light Ketchup with Erythritol. We have thrown out the harmful household sugar and left the tomatoes in. Uncompromisingly good taste - there you go! That's why more sauces without sugar or added sugar than just ketchup are part of the Xucker range. Before a sauce goes out into the world, we put it through its paces. No genetic engineering, no industrial sugar, low calories and, of course, taste are our top priorities. To put it bluntly: you have to want to lie down in Xucker sauces with xylitol or erythritol! We won't settle for anything less.

We won't settle for anything less. And because our universe of sauces doesn't stop at ketchup, we have developed other liquid delights. They sweeten desserts and pastries without burdening the body with harmful household sugar: for example, Sweet Sauce with Xylitol Type Chocolate or Sweet Sauce Strawberry for low-sugar fruit pleasure.

Sauces with xylitol or erythritol as an alternative

With sauces without sugar or sugar addition you drive in the comparison clearly better. The nutrition-conscious person may now quite rightly ask why the majority of the food industry has not long since moved away from sugar. The answer is simple and sobering: sugar is cheap, acts as a flavour enhancer and is even said to be addictive. In an article, the Rheinische Post refers to the neuroscientist Eric Stice from the Oregon Research Institute in the USA, who examined the effect of sugar on the human brain. He came to the conclusion that the sweet ingredient activates regions in the brain that are associated with addiction. In the food industry, unfortunately, the motto is often: good is what sells. Unfortunately, the health effects of all this are all too often a secondary consideration. Whether it's sauces without sugar and added sugar or sweet treats: At Xucker, we don't want to go after customers with cheap addictive substances, but instead value high quality, healthy nutrition and enjoyment. The advantages of erythritol and xylitol are clear to us:

• Xylitol has 40% fewer calories than sugar
• Erythritol is calorie-free
• Xylitol and erythritol are free of genetic engineering
• Xylitol and erythritol do not cause tooth decay
• Xylitol and erythritol sweeten without harming your health

Even though the sweeteners xylitol and erythritol are more expensive than household sugar, we are still completely convinced by them. Because we prefer to enjoy sustainably rather than "quick and dirty" and want to still feel good in our bodies tomorrow. So we'd rather have tomatoes in our sauce than on our eyes, and that's why our sauces come without sugar or added sugar. With this in mind, have a good meal and stay healthy!
