We know tomatoes are alkaline. So it stands to reason that tomato-based sauces are also alkaline-forming. Maybe it isn’t so obvious how much variety there is in pre-prepared pasta sauces. So choose the flavor that suits your PRAL alkalinity target.
Before you use this PRAL Tomato-based Pasta Sauces List, you must understand and agree to PRAL Food Lists Principles
Acid-Alkaline Tomato-based Pasta Sauces List
I list sauces with the lowest PRAL index first. Because these have the highest alkaline load. So the most alkalizing sauce shows first. But you can click the food table headings to change sort order.

Your Alkaline Tomato-based Pasta Sauces
Remember, factors such as growing conditions, variety, and preparation methods affect all food nutrients. USDA database values are an average of many samples. So your PRAL values for sauces will vary from day to day. But they are always an estimate of actual acid load on your kidneys. Which I explain more in the notes about PRAL principles on the category list page.
