Heinz ketchup
Heinz is a ketchup bottle originating from Thailand.
The first time you use the product, you will have a strange feeling that Heinz’s taste is sour and sweet, but once you get used to it, the product is quite delicious.
The product is stored inside a transparent glass bottle with an easy-to-turn white screw cap. But it makes it a bit difficult for users to get soy sauce. In addition, glass material is also quite fragile.

How to choose delicious tomato sauce
To find a delicious bottle of tomato sauce for yourself, I would like to share with you some good tips below:
- Enjoy different types of ketchup
The best way for you to know which type of ketchup suits your taste is to try different types of ketchup.
After experiencing many different flavors of ketchup, you will know the most satisfying sweet and salty taste of the product. Which type of ketchup gives the right taste and enhances the flavor of the dish?
- Carefully read the ingredients inside the ketchup
Before deciding to buy any product line, you should carefully read the ingredients inside. People should prioritize using ketchup made from quality fresh tomatoes that do not contain too many preservatives.
Ideally, the product line contains natural preservatives and is not harmful to the user’s health.
- Choose ketchup with natural colors
It is a fact that many ketchup manufacturers add artificial colors to make the ketchup look more attractive. But this type of ketchup is not good for the user’s health if used for a long time.
So I have a good tip for you: choose products with the most natural colors. It is a type of ketchup that is slightly bright red or slightly dark in color. Do not choose to use ketchup that is red and black like the color of chicken blood.
How to preserve tomato sauce
Once you have found yourself a delicious bottle of ketchup, the next thing you need to pay attention to is how to preserve the product. Because this directly affects the flavor and quality of ketchup during use.
The advice for you at this time is to preserve ketchup according to the instructions below:
1. Store ketchup in a cool, dry place
Ketchup is often susceptible to deterioration if the humidity is too high. Or when placed in places with direct sunlight exposure.
Therefore, you cannot store ketchup in areas that are too humid and too hot. Instead, the most ideal storage area is a dry, cool place. Typically inside kitchen cabinets or spice trays.
2. Store ketchup inside the refrigerator
In addition to the kitchen cabinet area meeting temperature and light conditions, the refrigerator is also an ideal place for you to store ketchup. But you should note that you should avoid putting ketchup inside the freezer.
You should only store the product in the refrigerator to cool the soy layer inside. Along with moderate cold temperatures, ketchup will prolong its shelf life while still retaining its original delicious flavor.
3. Store ketchup according to its expiration date
Above each bottle of ketchup, there will be a specific usage time for the product line. Depending on the type of ketchup, the shelf life will last from a few months to a few years.
Do not preserve ketchup for more than the prescribed time, to avoid affecting the taste of the food and your health.
4. Close the soy sauce bottle tightly after each use
Another important thing that everyone needs to pay attention to when preserving ketchup is that you need to close the lid of the ketchup bottle tightly after each use. Because the attractive smell of ketchup can easily attract flies and ants if not covered carefully. Opening the bottle of ketchup also causes the aroma and flavor to more or less evaporate.
How to distinguish real and fake ketchup
If you don’t want to fall into the same situation, you need to know how to recognize fake ketchup through the signs below:
- Distinguish through labels
Real ketchup: is a genuine product line, the stamp on the sauce bottle has an eye-catching shine and is neatly pasted to show high class.
Fake ketchup: labels are often blurred, scratched and even peeling even though they have not been used.
- Distinguish by color and flavor
About color: Real ketchup bottles made from pure fresh tomatoes are usually bright red or slightly dark red. Unlike ketchup impregnated with chemicals, the color is often very dark like chicken blood, and looks less natural.
About taste: The bottle of real ketchup has a sweet and sour flavor that melts quickly on the tip of the tongue. But for poor quality bottles of fake soy sauce, the sweet and sour taste created from chemicals will stick in the mouth for a long time. The taste does not dissipate even when people drink a lot of water.
