Slice, slice baby!
The messy process of adding condiments such as ketchup and hot sauce to a burger or sandwich could soon be a thing of the past if a tiny upstart has its way.
Slice of Sauce has created conveniently sliced mess-free condiment slices — much like pre-wrapped sliced cheese — that can be added to food by parents, sports enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers and health-conscious individuals. Each gluten-free and vegan slice is made with non-GMO ingredients and has no high-fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients. It also eschews refrigeration, which is typically needed for many condiments.
The new product, currently available for pre-order, comes in three flavors: Classic Ketchup, Spicy Sriracha and Habanero Hot Sauce. According to the company, Slice of Sauce was born out of cooking curiosity when co-founder Emily Williams took an old family BBQ sauce recipe that called for braising and then discarding loads of vegetables. Williams kept the veggies rather than throwing them out, instead deciding to mix them together to create a slice of sauce. Soon after she decided to do the same thing to create ketchup — the most popular condiment.
