While tomatoes are fruits and some tomato varieties can be quite sweet, a "normal" red tomato is about 5% carbs, 1/3rd of which is fibers.
If your tomato soup is above 10% sugar, a significant amount of sugar was added.
For the wheat thins GP mentions, literally all 4g of sugar are added sugars, per packaging: "total sugars 4g, includes 4g added sugars".
Here is the list of ingredients from the amazon listing:
- wheat flour
- canola oil
- sugar
- cornstarch
- malt syrup
- refiner's syrup
- salt
- leavening
- tomato powder
- sundried tomato powder
- paprika
- garlic powder
- spices
- onion powder
- dried bell peppers
- yeast extract
- natural flavours
- sulfur dioxyde
"Sugar" is literally the third largest ingredient, followed by two syrups at 5 and 6.
- TylerE 3y agoThat's misleading because most (95%) of a tomato are water. The non-water parts of a tomatoe are 80% sugar, the rest fiber.
- masklinn 3y ago> That's misleading because most (95%) of a tomato are water. So is the vast majority of a tomato soup. You can literally look at the ingredients list of your can of campbell's or whatever and see sugar as one of the top ingredients.
