Good news for ketchup fans who heart blue agave nectar — or vegans who fear the sugar in ketchup could’ve been processed with bone char (yes, such vegans do in fact exist): Wholemato Organic Agave Ketchup marries your fave french fry condiment to your fave sweetener.
And while I’m not a fan of blue agave nectar, I like Wholemato’s ketchup! The stuff has a little extra tang! I tried the original flavor, so I’m guessing the “spicy” version’s even tangier.
I even tried out some ketchupy recipes from Wholemato. The veganizable chili and sloppy joes recipes called for tempeh, but I substituted with Yves ground meatless, which worked awesomely. To the right’s my sloppy joe –

You can find Wholemato ketchups at Whole Foods or other health-oriented grocery shops — including Co-opportunity, which, in a true sign of its hippieness, displays the agave-sweetened ketchup between an unsweetened and a fruit-sweetened versions.
A 13 oz bottle will run you between $4.99 and $5.49. And for environmentalists trying to de-plastic their lives: Wholemato ketchups come in glass bottle.











ooo, i’m definitely very excited to know about this!
