I'm 8 months post op and haven't been able to enjoy tomato sauces because in the USA, they put sugar in everything! It's sooo annoying. I even went online to find a recipe, but it calls for tomato paste, which in the store has added sugar!!

Does anyone know of a true low/no sugar tomato sauce? Store bought or recipe? I don't mind the small amount of natural sugar in the tomato itself. It's the added sugar/corn syrup/fructose crap that add I want to avoid.

I found a recipe for lasagna using portobello instead of noodles and all I need is a no-sugar added tomato sauce. Why does the US have to add sugar to everything?

leave out what you want.

personally, I would cut the tomatoes in half and roast them for about 45 at 450. Then follow recipe. Purée. I would not waste time peeling a tomato. Ha.

Thanks!! I guess I didn't search hard enough. This looks great, I'll try it this week.

Trader Joes Traditional Marinara only has 2g sugar per 1/2 cup serving. I use it in my baked Ricotta recipe.

Aldi's organic

I find no sugar added tomato products in the regular grocery store all the time. Just read the labels.

I was buying this to make low carb pizza

Then I just started getting regular no sugar added tomato sauce at the grocery store and adding seasoning.

If you read labels it isn't an issue.

Hunts has a ton that don't have added sugar. Just look.
