Description

Low-calorie barbecue sauce is a lighter version of the traditional barbecue sauce, specially designed for those who wish to enjoy the characteristic smoky and sweet flavor of this sauce without adding many calories to their dishes. It is made with low-sugar and low-fat ingredients, maintaining the perfect balance between acidity, sweetness, and spices.

Originating from American cuisine, barbecue sauce has its roots in the smoking and marinating techniques of indigenous communities and settlers, evolving over time to become an essential complement for grilled meats, ribs, chicken, and other dishes.

The properties of low-calorie barbecue sauce include its low caloric contribution and reduced sugar content, making it ideal for healthy or weight-control diets. Furthermore, as it contains natural spices like paprika, garlic, and onion, it provides antioxidants and intense flavor without the caloric load of traditional versions.

In Hispanic America, this sauce may simply be known as "salsa barbacoa ligera" or "salsa BBQ baja en calorías", although the terms may vary by region. However, its use in recipes is the same: to give a delicious and healthy touch to meats, vegetables, and grilled or baked dishes.
