Wholemato Spicy Organic Agave Ketchup and Wholemato Original Organic Agave Ketchup combine the rich flavor of premium ripe organic tomatoes with an artistic blend of spices and agave nectar - a natural sweetener that is one of the hottest culinary trends in the healthy food marketplace. The Spicy variety, the newest version, provides a zing described as a medium on the 'heat' index, due to the hot jalapeno peppers in the sauce. In addition to their robust flavor, these innovative Agave Ketchups also have a remarkable mouth-feel and a nice viscosity for cooking that is not experienced with other ketchups.

Agave is a natural sweetener comprised primarily of fructose. Therefore, it is sweeter to the taste buds - yet it does not adversely impact blood glucose and insulin. So, while it is a delightful sweetener for everyone, it is particularly ideal for the millions of diabetics and parents of hyperactive children that have concerns regarding the glycemic levels in their food. Wholemato Organic Agave Ketchups are gluten-free, and they have been certified as Low-Glycemic for Diabetics by the Glycemic Research Institute due to their remarkable low score on the glycemic index.

The Agave Ketchups are offered in a premium glass bottle, which provides comfort to the growing number of people concerned about chemicals that may leach from plastic bottles. The suggested retail price for the Original is $4.99, and the Spicy is $5.49. They are widely available at Whole Foods Markets and hundreds of chain and independent retailers across the U.S. Wholemato is a family-owned business that is committed to enhancing the health of customers and supporting sustainable organic agriculture.
