theresaradio Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I am on day one and already am wondering about canned tomato sauce. the sauce I buy at Costco has 3 g of sugar per quarter cup. Is this allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenmidge Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm afraid not. No amount of sugar is allowed on W30. However, there are loads of compliant recipes available on-line, eg: Whole 30 Tomato Spaghetti Sauce: 1 28oz. can of crushed tomatoes some Italian spices Oregano Salt and pepper I also highly recommend the Well Fed recipe books and many of these recipes are also on-line.

theresaradio Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Thank you so much!. Under pantry items in the book, they list tomato paste as a compliant food, but there is a bit of sugar in it. Is that because it is used in such small amounts?

jenmidge Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 My advice is to find a tomato paste which doesn't contain any sugar at all. My understanding of the 'rules' is that all sugar is out, even tiny amounts. The tomato paste I use (Cirio) only lists tomatoes under 'Ingredients'.

jmcbn Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Take a look at the ingredient list, NOT the nutritional advice. If there is sugar listed in the ingredients then it's out. Tomatoes have naturally occuring sugar which is why it would appear in the nutritional advice. The ingredients list is King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresaradio Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Thank you--- yes I was looking at the nutritional information in the nutrition box, and not the ingredient list. Many of the compliant foods have naturally occurring carbohydrates in them. So I am just looking at the ingredient list that lists added sugar, correct?

maxjwell Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Tomato sauce is my speciality on whole30 I buy the expensive whole San Marzano Tomatoes. Follow this recipe for homemade sauce (https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015987-classic-marinara-sauce). Simple and delicious. I modify it while on whole30 and add mushrooms, onions, and meat. Then eat it over a giant plate of roasted eggplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
