Ketchup is made by adding onion, carrot and other savory fragrant vegetable broth and flavorings such as herbs, spices, salt, sugar, and vinegar to tomato purée (tomato concentrate) and heating it to concentrate.
Ketchup’s sweetness, sourness, and saltiness influence the flavor of cuisine, and its thickness can influence how well ingredients mingle together in dishes such as pasta.
This is why the extent to which ketchup is boiled down is extremely important.
