About Sauce, barbecue
Barbecue sauce is the sweet, smoky, tangy sauce slathered on grilled and smoked meats — a thick blend usually built on tomato, sugar, vinegar and spices, with regional styles ranging from sweet to vinegary to mustardy. It's as much about a glossy, sticky finish as about flavor.
Most of its character comes from sugar, which makes it one of the sweeter savory condiments and a moderate source of calories for a sauce, along with some sodium and a little lycopene from the tomato base. It tends to be used generously, which is where the sugar adds up.
A brush of barbecue sauce transforms grilled food, but because it's sweet and often piled on, it's worth using with a degree of awareness — the sugar and salt can climb quickly when you're basting.
