In a break from tra- ditional condiments, Portland-based Red Duck Ketchup offers unexpected flavor complexities that are designed to enhance other foods rather than cover them up. While Red Duck Ketchup might seem simple, Red Duck actually takes an artisan approach to making them, forming relationships with the farmers who grow the ingredients, creating proprietary spice blends and using whole, honest ingredients. As if that wasn't different enough, all of these ketchups are certified Organic by OTCO. Red Duck founders Karen Bonner, Jes- sica Hilbert and Shannon Oliver chan- neled their passion for flavorful, organic, arti- san food and memo- ries of authentic flavors enjoyed on their travels abroad to create an elevated version of America's favorite condiment in four surprising flavor twists: Original, Smoky, Curry, and Spicy. The ketchups, which have about 50 percent less sugar and sodium than tradi- tional ketchups, are also fabulous to cook with, and the recipe section on Red Duck's website is constantly offering con- sumers ideas on how to elevate all of their meals.
