No Added Sugar. Paleo and Keto Certified. Just like the way we used to eat. In Lexington or the Piedmont area of NC BBQ is made from pork shoulder and the sauce uses a tomato base, hence the term Carolina Red. Authentic Red Sauces are tangy and spicy with a touch of sweetness to round them out. Ed Mitchell likes his BBQ down home and locally grown, which is why we us all US grown fruits and veggies instead of sugar as our sweeteners.
