Short Answer\"is<\/h3>\n

No, Worcestershire sauce is not Paleo!<\/p>\n

Wooster what?<\/h3>\n

In the Paleo diet, it is very confusing as to which condiments are approved and not. We have been accustomed to using different types of condiments to enhance the flavor of food but when strictly following the Paleo diet, most condiments available are not approved because they contain preservatives such as sugar<\/a>, artificial colorings and other ingredients. Worcestershire sauce is a good example of this.<\/p>\n

Worcestershire sauce, pronounced as \u201cWooster or Worcester\u201d is a fermented liquid mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, molasses, sugar, salt, anchovies, tamarind extract, onion, garlic and flavorings. It is a complex, umami-filled condiment that has the ability to add a mysterious, savory flavor and aroma to dishes.\u00a0 This sauce is often used in deviled eggs, chilli con carne, beef stews, and cocktails like Bloody Mary and has South Asian roots.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, even if Worcestershire sauce is fermented, it is not Paleo basically because it contains sugar, molasses, gluten and preservatives.<\/p>\n
