Buying Guide
Fat
Pizza and pasta sauces comprise primarily of tomatoes, which does not contain fat. Yet the sauce is cooked and has oil and other ingredients that add to its fat content.
One spoon of the sauce, which is roughly 30 g, can have between 2 and 3 g of fat. Also, note that the serving mentioned on the pack varies; some declare by per spoon while others declare by 100 g.
Do not get confused; do a little math to figure the approximate value of fat per serving.
Organic
Pasta and pizza sauce has a rich tomato base. Some of them even contain onion and garlic. All these raw ingredients need to be sourced from organic farms for the product to be deemed organic. The benefit of organic produce is that they are grown without any chemical pesticides and insecticides. Naturally, your chances of consuming these chemicals are lessened when you go organic. But if you want chemical-free food, then organic is your best choice.
Gluten-free
Tomatoes do not contain gluten, but the pasta and pizza sauce may contain wheat or other thickening gluten products. If you have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant, please purchase only those sauces that categorically mention that they are “gluten-free”.
Sugar
Pizza and pasta sauces are slightly sweet, and most of them have added sugar for taste. In case you want to reduce your sugar intake or are diabetic, pick the ones that have no added sugar. Naturally, present sugar does not impact the glycemic index majorly, so that should be fine. Also, if it does contain some natural sugar, the amount will be negligible and well within the daily requirement percentage.
No preservatives
Sauces of all kinds are not raw. They are cooked completely or partially and may contain ingredients that tend to spoil. So many manufacturers add permitted synthetic preservatives to increase the shelf life of their products. So if you are planning on hoarding, then go for the ones with preservatives, ensure you only consume these sauces occasionally.
