The Story Behind Choctaw Ketchup

This recipe came about when we challenged a friend to eat her French fries without salt or that ketchup loaded with high fructose corn syrup. That’s when Choctaw Ketchup was born. It’s a simple, no-cook blend packed with bold, ancestral flavor. Inspired by Indigenous creativity and Southern spice, it’s a small but powerful way to bring our roots to the table in everyday meals.

Health Benefits

While Choctaw Ketchup is a condiment, it still offers small but meaningful benefits:

• Tomatoes (ketchup) – Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to reduced inflammation and heart health
• Creole Seasoning herbs – Often contains oregano, thyme, paprika, garlic, and cayenne, all of which can support:
  • Digestive health
  • Antioxidant protection
  • Circulation and metabolism
  • Immune-boosting properties
