Approved No-added-sugar chutneys - would you buy them?

Sorry - I wouldn't buy them. I just eat regular chutney eg I'll put a bit in my cheese sandwich, or have some mango chutney with a curry. I find the amount eaten is small so I dont worry about them. In the same way, I have a small amount of regular jam on my toast if I want it.

I'm not a fan of specialist diabetic products in general (not having a go at your idea - just a general statement).

Also, I personally would rather have a little bit of sugar than any artificial sweetener. This is mainly because I prefer natural over artificial, but also because I find they tend to taste weird.

IF chutneys are accompanying a carb meal eg curry and rice, or cheese and pickle sandwich, then I'm far more concerned about the rice and bread carb content than the minuscule amount from any condiments.

I think people are more interested in natural whole food than artificial sugar free ones. Just my personal opinion : )
 
I think there is a market for them. A farmers market is a great idea. I used to do one for the WI. The labeling is key. But it does enable you to sell small amounts at first. Putting samples out will help.
