Xylitol
Barley and Rice Malt Syrup
Barley and rice syrup are a great substitute for liquid sweeteners like
honey, maple syrup etc. Both are unrefined liquid sweeteners
sourced from soaked, sprouted barley and rice. They may slightly
diffe r in flavour but both have a consistency similar to golden syrup
and molasses.
Dates
Dates are naturally sticky, moist, and fibrous, making them a popular
swe etener for both raw and baked desserts. Dates are “whole food”,
meaning they don’t undergo any processing.
Coconut Sugar
Coconut sugar or palm sugar is a natural sugar made from coconut palm sap. It’s like the maple syrup
of th e coconut palm. Coconut sug ar has lower glycemic and undergoes less processing, so retains
some of the nutrients. It has a malty brown sugar-like flavour naturally.
Lakanto
Lakanto sweetener is derived from monk fruit, which looks like a small green gourd
most commonly found in China and Thailand. The monk fruit is picked, dried out, and
extracted. The end product is 100% natural, vegan, with no-GMO sweetener and 150
to 200 times sweeter than s ugar. Lakanto is also zero glycemic, meaning it is a zero
calorie sugar substitute, perfect for those who are diabetic.
Stevia
Stevia is derived from the leaves of a plant called Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia is great for
those who are worried about calories. It is a non-nutritive sweetener, which means it
has almost no calories. It contributes nothing nutritionally – it supplies sweet flavour
and that’s all. Stevia does n’t impact blood sugar levels or cause tooth decay.
Xylitol
Xylitol may sound like a synthetic ingredient, but the truth is Xylitol is extracted from
hardwood trees and in some fruit and vegetables. This alternative sweetener has fewer
calories than refined sugar and lower glycemic, meaning it has less of an impact on
blood sugar levels. Like Stevia, Xylitol doesn’t cause tooth decay. However, you should
keep in mind to keep this sweetener away from your dogs as it is considered highly
toxic to canines.
