Editor's overview
Whole Foods Market's marinara sauce is a straightforward option for home cooks seeking a no-sugar-added sauce made with imported Italian tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil. It's ready to use straight from the jar, making it convenient for quick pasta dishes, and works well for vegan cooking since it contains no animal products.
