It’s not often you would call an accident a great opportunity, but it didn’t take long for Natalia Fritz to find out she had struck gold.
After accidentally spilling her homemade puréed sweet potatoes into a pot of marinara sauce one night, Natalia had stumbled upon the world’s first Sweet Potato Tomato Sauce. Both remarkably nutritious and flavorful, this unique sauce is now being featured at a number of retailers, including Shelton’s Natural Foods Market, Oliver’s Markets, Oakville Grocery Co., and more.
“Natalia's sauce is versatile and healthy," she explains on her website. "It is a great way to add extra nutrition to many meals."
Both Non-GMO and Gluten-Free, Natalia’s Sweet Potato Tomato Sauce contains 75% vegetables and more than 50% sweet potatoes, which are loaded with beta-carotene, vitamins A, B6, C, and D, and packed with fiber and iron. There is zero added sugar, colors, or flavorings.
Not only does Natalia tout the health benefits and flavor of the sauce, but she has also uses it as a nutritional boost in lasagnas, chicken parmesan, homemade pizzas, enchiladas, as a dip for meatballs and chicken fingers, and even thinned out to be served as a soup. The versatility of the sauce has helped make it shine on programs such as Purveyors Kitchen and across other news publications.
As the brand expands to other retailers, health-conscious consumers like Brad Weaver, Head of the Sonoma Country Day School, are excited to share this sauce on school menus.
“We are thrilled to use Natalia's Sweet Potato Tomato Sauce in our school kitchen in a wide range of meals, from spaghetti to enchiladas to pizza,” he said. “It is so versatile and incredibly healthy for our students. I love how the children are getting such a nutritious meal; they just love that Natalia's sauce tastes great!”
