Savory Tomato Hash: A Simple Homemade Condiment
One of the easiest ways to reduce sugar and ultra-processed foods in your diet is to stop buying bottled condiments and start making your own. Most store-bought tomato-based condiments contain added sugars, seed oils, preservatives, and flavor enhancers that don’t support recovery or long-term health.
This Savory Tomato Hash is thick, naturally flavorful, and incredibly versatile. It can replace ketchup, tomato spreads, or sauces and works beautifully on sandwiches, burgers, eggs, and homemade breads. Best of all, you control every ingredient.
Why Make Your Own Condiments?
