The
fruity tomato ketchup without granulated sugar
is the “eve reader favorite 2023”: Real ketchup fans prefer not to eat anything without it, because for them the tomato-based sauce goes with almost everything. Since a conscious diet starts with the right dip, we opted for an organic ketchup without any granulated sugar, sweetened only subtly with agave syrup. 80% tomato paste from organic Italian tomatoes gives it its deliciously intense, fruity taste. The sun-ripened, freshly harvested tomatoes are briefly steamed immediately after washing. This inactivates enzymes and the fruity taste and red color are retained. The tomato puree is then mixed with the other ingredients, gently heated and mechanically processed until the delicious red sauce can be bottled.

A must-have for readers of NATÜRLICH magazine is the Byodo Mediterranean Olive Oil for Frying, which made it onto the list of winners for the “natürlich Readers’ Choice 2023.” No wonder—thanks to its combination of a delicate olive flavor and good heat stability, this oil is ideal for sautéing, grilling, and deep-frying, such as when preparing Mediterranean dishes. The finest organic olives give it its mild flavor. The high oleic acid content of this pure olive oil and the gentle production process ensure excellent heat stability. Like all organic olive oils from Byodo, the “Brat-Olive Mediterran” is produced using a nutrient-preserving cold-pressing process—naturally from the first pressing. Through subsequent steam washing (= gentle deodorization) at low temperatures, intense color and flavor compounds are removed from the organic olive oil. This makes it even more heat-stable.
