Sugar removes acidity. I would add some sugar to home made tomato sauce sometimes.

Sugar is bad, but it's got some qualities as well. The same could be said about many things we still eat/drink/breath, but the problem with sugar is that we just use too much of it.

sugar does not reduce acidity, it masks it.

Bicarbonate of Soda reduces it, and brings the sugar already present to the fore.

a micro pinch in the tomato sauce makes it bite less and reduces digestive acidity reflux from eating a tomato based meal(spag.sauce)

The more you know!

I totally used the wrong word (as I really wanted to say that masks it - I've got zero chemistry knowledge), but I'll try your tip next time.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip!
