About Sue
Hey, I’m Sue! I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on Long Island with a Master’s Degree in Medical Biology and Nutrition, and I’m always looking for new ways to add flavor with few calories, no salt, and little sugar.
My flavored balsamic glazes are made from balsamic vinegar (fermented grapes), infused fruits or vegetables, and local honey from my beekeeper, Promise Land Apiaries in Mattituck, when needed. That’s it! They’re very low in sodium, produced in a gluten free kitchen, and contain no artificial ingredients or thickeners.
My glazes have been tested and process approved by the Cornell University Food Venture Program, and I hold a certificate in Food Product Development from Cornell’s Food Spark Program. I’m also a member of the NYS Center of Excellence in Food and Agriculture at Cornell’s AgriTech Program, and of Taste NY.

The Science on Balsamic Vinegar
Some studies show that vinegar before a meal may help lower the rise in blood sugar after it. The studies are small but promising.
Other research looks at vinegar as an appetite suppressant that helps you feel full sooner. More study is needed, and the first article below covers it.
Balsamic vinegar contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. Many claims have been made about antioxidants and lowering the risk of cancer and heart disease.
These studies look at the benefits and contents of balsamic vinegar:
