Heinz 1 Carb Ketchup

[nicoleky30]

Anyone use this and what do you think?

[eculmone]

Frankenfood - may cause you to fall off wagon? I've not used 'Heinz' but found the others out their to stall and not taste as good. I think there may be a recipe on the boards?

[DolphinsOnMyMind777]

I use it in small amounts while low carbing and have never had a problem.

[g8rchic]

I love it! I actually like it better than the sugary stuff.

[Purple Crayon]

Love it! I make LC Catalina salad dressing with it.

[Hot Tamale]

I use it when I can find it and I have never had a problem with it. It is better than the regular kind!

[ragtopwife]

I use it. Quite tasty

[Snickerdoolers]

I use it, it's not as thick as the original but it tastes good.

[Magicsmom]

I use it too, and love it. It's too bad you can't get it in the stores anymore, but Netrition carries it. I can't imagine using enough of it to cause a stall, but I use it sparingly and not very often.

[Locarb4me]

I love it. And we have it in several local grocery stores, too!

[DolphinsOnMyMind777]

I get it at the store. Jewel/ Albertson's has it.

[BrandNewMe2004]

I use it for the whole family. I had switched to an organic kind so we didn't get the high-fructose crap, and I just refrained altogether.. so I'm happy to find something I can indulge in and it doesn't stall me and it tastes really good. However, I am going to be experimenting w/ making my own, so I can use stevia. We'll see how that goes.

Thanks! I'll look for it there. I don't shop much at Albertsons, so that's probably why I haven't seen it.

I would have to disagree with "Frankenfood" it is the same ketchup but with artificial sweetener instead of high fructose corn syrup. I would have to say the regular heinz would be equally frankenfoodish in that HFCS is artificial.

It tastes just the same as the regular. I seem to recall it being thicker when it first came out but I just bought some of the reduced calorie stuff (new labeling same product?) and it seems more watery. The new labeling means the local grocers are carrying it again after years of not so I can't complain about that.

[MyJourney]

I love it! Use it with my burgers and anything else that I want ketchup with.
I think its better than the real stuff! Never impacted me.

[24Fan]

I do but a bottle lasts me forever. It's a must for the cola rib recipe

Check out the Heinz website and you can see what the new package looks like. I think now it is green instead of "low carb blue". If you write 'em and tell them how much you like their product and appreciate catoring to low sugar customers, they just may send you a coupon for their product. (not that I did this . . .) I don't use ketchup much anyway so a bottle lasts a long time. It is pretty good. I think my Ketchup drinking BF might be able to tell the difference, but then he's a ketchup snob

The stores that carry Heinz ought to carry this version according to the website. You may have to ask your store to carry it specifically ,but I've bought it at Kroger.

[metqa]

If any one is near the Athens, Ga Big Lots Store on Atlanta HWY, I just saw a whole shelf of the blue label Heinz 1 Carb Ketchup for $1.30.

Unfortunately, the best by date is 10/08, but as BF stated we've only seen ketchup go bad that's been opened. I got four bottles. That ought to last a year

[Magicsmom]

Yeah, I've got a supply laid in too. I don't use it very often, so a bottle goes a long way. Before Netrition carried it, I found a place on the internet and bought six bottles because I was afraid Heinz was going to quit making it.

24Fan, where can I find the cola rib recipe?

[suzanneyea]

I buy it for my son and husband, but I can live with ketchup. I am a mustard girl.

[Glamour Puss]

I live in the UK and this ketchup is not available but what I use for ketchup is tomato puree and I've found that I prefer this now over anything else and to my surprise, so do my kids! The best thing is there's only one ingredient on the package - tomatoes.

[nicoleky30]

Found it at Wal-Mart over the weekend!

This is the recipe that I use, for Ketchup. You can find this recipe on my "recipe circus" link, at the bottom of my post.

This can be ketchup or cocktail sauce, depending on the tomato sauce. The recipe carbs, for the entire recipe, are 23.5 for ketchup and 38.5 for cocktail sauce. Makes about 3 cups

List of Ingredients



3 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons sweetner(Splenda)
2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice

(If you want to make cocktail sauce, use italian style tomato sauce, with the spices, and add 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, to these ingredients.)

Recipe


Mix entire ingredients together, in a medium size saucepan. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, until thickened, stirring once in a while. Cool and store in a glass jar, in the fridge. Keeps a long time. If I make cocktail sauce, I add horseradish, but, this is your option. .................................

[kristinalyn2001]

I like it as well better than the real thing...it is richer tasting I think, and thicker.. I am not a ketchup fanatic though, but makes the scrambled eggs go down a little better sometimes!

[metqa]

Wow, you just made my mouth want scrambled eggs!

I'm not a big ketchup fan either, but I love me some coctail sauce. I bought extra bottles once I found THAT recipe!

Please post the cola rib recipe! It sounds YUM

As for the Heinz 1 Carb...I just got it last week and WOW....YUM! Just like the original to me. I'll be getting more when it runs out for sure! Now, I just need to figure out how to make a yummy BBQ sauce with it
