Is the sugar in Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup different to sugar in other well-known ketchups?
Sugars, whether added as table sugar or naturally occurring in fruit and vegetables are pretty much the same – it’s what they are added with that matters. Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup is naturally sweetened with whole fruits and vegetables not just added table sugar as in most other well-known ketchups. Whole fruits and vegetables deliver an abundance of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre) as well as a great sweet taste to our product.

Does Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup need to be kept in the fridge?

Why do I need to shake the bottle of Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup before pouring?
Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup is made from all-natural ingredients without the use of preservatives or stabilisers. Therefore some separation may occur when stored for long periods. This is nothing to worry about and a quick shake of the bottle before you pour it will mix them back together.
It is not possible to get all the Ketchup out of the glass bottle - Any tips on how to best get it out?
Connie’s Kitchen Ketchup is made from all natural ingredients and contains lots of fruits and vegetables that come with plenty of fibre. Therefore, our ketchup is a bit thicker than other ketchups made with sugar, syrups or fruit juice concentrates that deliver no fibre. Another reason is that the glass bottle can not be squeezed and therefore it is not possible to actively squeeze the ketchup out of the bottle.
There will always be a small amount of ketchup left in our glass bottles. We recommend to add a little bit of water (1-2Tbsp) to the almost empty ketchup bottle, shake it well, and add it to either a tomato sauce or use it as the tomato base for your pizza.
