Which condiments contain the least sugar? In this post, I am going to be sharing with you which condiments contain the least amount of sugar. Now at this point, you may be wondering what exactly counts as a condiment. Well, let me tell you. A condiment is a type of sauce that is added to food (usually after being cooked) which is then designed to enhance and add specific flavors. The most common condiments we are all aware of include Ketchup, Mayonnaise, and Mustard. When it comes to certain food items, you just can’t eat them without a condiment – for example, who wants plain fries? However, condiments cannot always be the most sugar-friendly food item. So, what condiments contain the least amount of sugar?

As a general rule, the following condiments are some of the lowest sugar condiments –

• mustard;
• hot sauce;
