Organicville ketchup, a new found love

My son will someday turn into a bottle of ketchup. The kid puts ketchup on everything.  His favorite forever has been Heinz. I became aware of the amount of sugar and also HFCS in many ketchups a while ago so I sought out some healthier brands. I figured when we ate out at restaurants it was one thing, but at least the ketchup in our house could be healthier.  We settled on a Nature's Promise (Stop N Shop) brand, and alternated buying it between the big gigantic bottles of Heinz (that my son can go through in 2 weeks).  I recently was turned on to the Organicville brand of condiments.  These were not only gluten free, but also organic, dairy free and most didn't contain sugar - instead the ketchup is sweetened with Agave Nectar.  I was even happier to find that while more expensive than brands such as Heinz, it wasn't so expensive that I couldn't justify buying it frequently.   Even better, this line of condiments is now being carried at my trusty Stop N Shop (my second home, it would seem).

So, when my son received a bottle of ketchup and also dairy free ranch dressing to try out - we were both excited to try it.  Alex didn't care for the dairy free ranch dressing, but that's fine with me. I've been loving it on salads and as a dip for fresh vegetables.  The Organicville ketchup, on the other hand - he LOVES.  Unlike many of the other "healthy" ketchups, he took to Organicville right away. 

If you haven't liked other organic ketchups, definitely try Organicville.
1. It is the right color
2. It tastes great
3. It smells good and not overly strong.
4. The consistency is comparable to Heinz - not too runny nor too thick.
5. It is gluten free, dairy free, has no HFCS, no sugar added, and its organic! 

My ketchup loving and picky kid gives this one, a thumbs up.
