Barbecue sauce is a prepared sauce used as a condiment or to coat food during cooking. The figures here describe the sauce itself, rather than a dish made with it. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 36g of carbohydrate, including 30g of sugars, per 100g. The same amount provides 598 kJ of energy and 1.6g of salt.
Carbohydrate supplies energy for the body. The sugar and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake, and the amount of sauce used affects how much it contributes to a meal. Recipes and brands can differ, so product labels may give different values. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
