Sweet and sour sauce FAQ
Is sweet and sour sauce gluten free?
Typically, sweet and sour sauce isn’t considered gluten-free since it often contains soy sauce which often has wheat as an ingredient. However, there are some brands such as San-J and Kikkoman that offer gluten-free versions of sweet and sour sauce.
Is sweet and sour sauce vegan?
Yes, most sweet and sour sauce recipes are vegan as they mainly consist of sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch. However, it’s always good to double-check the ingredients for any animal-derived components, especially because some variants might use honey instead of sugar.
Is sweet and sour sauce low FODMAP?
No, generally, sweet and sour sauce isn’t low in FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols). It often contains ingredients like garlic and onion, which are high in FODMAPs. Some recipes may also include honey which is high in fructose, a type of monosaccharide.
Is sweet and sour sauce keto?
Traditional sweet and sour sauce is not suitable for a ketogenic diet. This is due to its high sugar content, often around 10 grams per tablespoon, which can quickly add up against the recommended daily carb limit of about 20 to 50 grams for a ketogenic diet. For those on a keto diet, there are specific brands that offer a low-carb or keto-friendly version of sweet and sour sauce or you can make your own using a sugar substitute.
