Dating back to the late 17th century, ketchup has taken many forms over the years, likely beginning as a blend of pickled fish and seasonings — the tomato ketchup we enjoy today on our burgers and fries — and eggs and hot dogs and, well, you get the idea — appeared sometime in the early 19th century. Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup is produced for us using the purée of vine-ripened, organic California tomatoes, organic cane sugar and a concoction of organic spices. It's cooked and bottled in small batches, is free of trans fats and MSG, and is without a doubt the best tasting ketchup we've tried. So much to love!
