For example, San Angel Mole (Los Angeles) offered “Mexico's national dish” in a range of varieties. The mole sauces feature a blend of chilies, chocolate and nuts, according to the company, which offers red, black and cascabel varieties. A similar influence prompted Juanita's Foods (Wilmington, Calif.) to introduce enchilada sauces made with green chilies, onions and other ingredients. Red Enchilada, Green Enchilada, and Chile Colorado Red Chile varieties are available.
Italian sauces, meanwhile, may have been the tried-and-true, but they also had carbs--or some did until 2004. Hain-Celestial Group (Uniondale, N.Y.) launched Carb Fit, a line of all-natural pasta sauces with as few as 5g of net carbs per serving. The four varieties are: Portobello mushroom, vodka, tomato basil and Puttanesca.
