But, if you have any of the above issues and you combine this with twenty other similar things, then you're throwing a ton of pebbles at the window, so to speak. ;)</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/53608/hack-my-trader-joes-ketchup/53621#53621 Answer by The Loon for Hack my Trader Joes Ketchup. The Loon 2011-07-24T23:48:19Z 2011-07-24T23:48:19Z <p>This is so easy to make yourself, without all the sugar and other ingredients you might not want, and cheaper, too. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/53608/hack-my-trader-joes-ketchup/53634#53634 Answer by Curmujeon for Hack my Trader Joes Ketchup. Curmujeon 2011-07-25T00:17:45Z 2011-07-25T00:17:45Z <p>I like the taste of meat by itself. Lately, I've really gotten into the tastes of foods with minimal condiments and spices. Sweet taste makes one want to eat more. Also, what gillie said, a tbsp here, another bit there, oops an unplanned cheat, oh no, I couldn't resist that bday cake . . . It adds up.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/53608/hack-my-trader-joes-ketchup/53665#53665 Answer by UncleLongHair for Hack my Trader Joes Ketchup. UncleLongHair 2011-07-25T03:21:15Z 2011-07-25T03:21:15Z <p>The thing I would watch is the sugar. Regular ketchup (i.e. Heinz or Hunts) has 4g = 1 tsp of sugar per tbsp, which is pushing how much sugar I want in a condiment, since that is often the same amount of refined sugar that I otherwise have in about a week. The Trader Joe's stuff has half that which sounds much better but I would still be sparing with it, who wants a sugar insulin spike from beef?</p> <p>I will admit that I also like ketchup with ground beef, but I am becoming a real sugar nazi, and am trying to avoid anything that even tastes sweet. Does this stuff taste less sweet than typical ketchup?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/53608/hack-my-trader-joes-ketchup/53762#53762 Answer by stephthegeek for Hack my Trader Joes Ketchup. stephthegeek 2011-07-25T17:24:43Z 2011-07-25T17:24:43Z <p>I'm in the "just go for it" camp, but I wanted to point out this unsweetened ketchup that I use: <a href="http://www.westbrae.com/products/condiments/uu.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.westbrae.com/products/condiments/uu.php</a></p> <p>You can get it online or at Whole Foods. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/53608/hack-my-trader-joes-ketchup/66380#66380 Answer by Jennifer for Hack my Trader Joes Ketchup.
