We know ketchup as a delicious condiment, but its origin is likely different than you’d expect. Ketchup’s roots started in Asia, where it was called ke-tsiap (Xiamen), a sauce made from fermented fish sauce. It came to Europe in the 17th century but looked and tasted different from the ketchup we know today, as it included ingredients like mushrooms, walnuts, and oysters — no tomatoes. In the 1830s, an Ohio physician named Dr. John Cook Bennett began marketing a tomato-based concoction as a medicinal elixir. Dr. Bennett claimed his tomato extract had incredible healing properties and promoted it as a cure for many ailments, including diarrhea, indigestion, jaundice, and rheumatism. His tomato preparation was a precursor to modern ketchup. Over time, the medicinal claims surrounding tomato-based ketchup faded, but people continued to enjoy the taste. Now, you can’t walk into a restaurant without seeing a ketchup bottle on every table! FROM MIRACLE CURE TO CONDIMENT The Unbelievable History of Ketchup
