Does relish have a lot of sugar? In this post, I am going to share with you the sugar content of relishes as well as rank 10 different relish brands based on sugar content. Relish \u2013 you put it on burgers, hot dogs, or just about anything you want. Traditionally a relish is a combination of cooked and pickled items mixed with herbs and spices and then used as a condiment. In the USA you are most likely to be familiar with American sweet relish which is a pickled cucumber jam eaten with hot dogs or on burgers. It is sweet. It is tangy. However, how much sugar is there in relish and what are some lower sugar relish options available from grocery stores and online?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsweetened dill relishes tend to contain 0g of sugar per serving. As a general rule, sweet relishes contain 3g-4g of total sugar per 15g tablespoon serving. There are some sweet relishes that are sweetened with sweeteners and so are sweet but contain 0g of sugar per serving. Two examples of sugar free sweet relishes are Vlasic and Mt Olive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, I will go through each of my 10 picks for lower sugar relishes item by item. I highlight in an *asterisk* any notable features for each brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with sucralose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are looking for a sugar-free sweet relish, you really cannot go wrong with Vlasic homestyle no added sugar sweet relish. This relish still tastes sweet as it is sweetened with sucralose, yet there is 0g of sugar<\/strong> per 15g serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see it for yourself on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *No added sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A great way to buy lower sugar relish is to just go for relishes that are not labeled as sweet. For example, this relish from 365 by Whole Foods is just labeled as \u201cpickle dill relish<\/em>\u201d rather than sweet relish \u2013 and indeed it is sugar free as well as containing 0g of total sugar<\/strong> per serving. It also has the benefit of being organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find organic pickle dill relish from 365 on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *No added sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heinz dill relish is another example of a \u201cnot sweet\u201d relish that is added sugar free as well as containing 0g of total sugar<\/strong> per serving. Heinz dill relish comes in a convenient squeezy bottle and can be bought on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with Splenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you prefer your relish to still have a sweet taste to it, but do not want to consume sugar then check out Mt. Olive No Added Sugar Sweet Relish on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This relish is \u201cnot a significant source of sugar\u201d yet still tastes sweet as it is sweetened with Splenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with high fructose corn syrup <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike Heinz\u2019s Dill Relish, their sweet relish is sweetened \u2013 with high fructose corn syrup. There are 3g of total sugar<\/strong> per 15g serving of Heinz\u2019s sweet relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see it for yourself on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All the relishes so far on this list have been pickle relishes. But how about sweet onion relish? How much sugar is in a sweet onion relish? The answer is pretty much the same sugar as sweet pickle relish. This sweet onion relish from Vidalia is sweetened with sugar and contains 3g of total sugar<\/strong> per tablespoon serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find Vidalia sweet onion relish on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with organic dried cane syrup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This organic sweet pickle relish from Woodstock also contains 3g of total sugar<\/strong> per tablespoon serving. This sweet relish is sweetened with organic dried cane syrup and can be found on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with high fructose corn syrup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This relish from B&G comes in bulk size, is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, and contains 3g of total sugar<\/strong> per tablespoon serving. You can find B&G sweet relish on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with organic cane sugar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have already looked at 365\u2019s organic dill pickle relish, which is sugar free. However, 365\u2019s sweet pickle relish is not sugar free \u2013 it is sweetened with organic cane sugar and contains 4g of total sugar<\/strong> per 15g tablespoon serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see it for yourself on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Sweetened with high fructose corn syrup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, this relish from Vienna is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup and contains 4g of total sugar<\/strong> per 15g serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see it for yourself on Amazon here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s got to be both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the sweetness you expect from relish, but none of the sugar. That is such a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a summary table of 10 different relish brands ranked based on sugar content. For each option, I list the sweetener used in the relish and the total sugar content per serving. The sugar content for those listed ranges from 0g to 4g of sugar per 15g serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
