A Healthy BBQ Sauce

August 6, 2024

In The Kitchen

Many store-bought barbecue sauces are loaded with added sugar, excess sodium, and unnecessary preservatives. A typical store-bought sauce can contain up to 15 grams of carbs in just 2 tablespoons! Many also use high fructose corn syrup, a heavily processed sweetener linked to heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. That same 2 tablespoons of sauce can also have 200-350 mg of sodium, nearly 15% of your daily allowance. Additionally, these sauces often contain preservatives like potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, which may increase the risk of inflammation, oxidative stress, obesity, ADHD, and allergies. This is a good reason to make your own sauce. Here’s an easy recipe to try at home. Feel free to tweak it by adjusting the spice or heat to your preference. A Healthier BBQ Sauce Ingredients: ...
