Worst condiments you can eat are those that you think you commonly treat as healthy but are in fact not very well suited to promote good health, but there are alternative options that are better.

Worst condiments you can eat are those that you commonly see everyday

You may not be aware of it, but hopefully you don’t get too discouraged about what you may be about to discover. But hey, it’s all for the best, right?

So, here’s a list of the worst condiments that you should avoid.

Soy Sauce

What? Isn’t soy touted as a wonder food? Well, if you’re talking about the soybean, then yes that is true. But when you talk about soy sauce, then that is another thing.

Soy sauce may not be high in calories, but try to taste a drop and you could tell that it is loaded with sodium. Also, having too much soy sauce can interfere with digestion and in face, can interfere with hormone production.

Try healthier alternatives like coconut or liquid aminos and tamari or you can look for low-sodium organic soy sauce. It may cost a bit more compared to the regular ones, but it sure can make up for the risks that come along with it.

Ketchup

Store- bought ketchup is high in added sugar and a load of artificial ingredients. Many, if not most, processed ketchup bought in stores are also loaded with artificial preservatives to prolong shelf life.

This is the primary reason why organic and fresh ketchup may be a bit pricey, but at least you have a good and healthier alternative. You can even make homemade ketchup using basic and fresh ingredients but you need to have it consumed right away before it turns stale.

You can also use fresh tomatoes to ensure that get a kick out of the lycopene from fresh ones.

BBQ Sauce

Why waste money on store bought barbecue sauce that’s chuck full of artificial ingredients, sugar and food preservatives? Store-bought barbecue sauces are made with made with additives to enhance flavour and freshness to extend shelf life.

It is also made with lots of sugar to make it more tasty and tempting. But since you may want to switch to a fresh batch, you can make your own barbecue sauce. There may be quite a number of ingredients that you can use, still it would be your best option because you know what goes into your homemade sauce.

Pickle Relish

Most brands on supermarket shelves use artificial colouring lots and lots of sugar and preservatives. You can even make your own using sliced or shredded cucumber together with onion, vinegar and a little bit of sugar just to balance the taste between the sour and sweet.

So the next time you try to your well-loved condiment, you surely would not want to miss out on the flavour.
