Wide Range of All-Natural Sugar Substitutes
Sugar substitutes are sweeteners that can be used to easily replace sugar in recipes or in daily use. Often, they are totally naturally derived either in the form of a syrup (like Agave or Brown Rice syrup), plant-based like Stevia, or they are sugar alcohol like Xylitol (derived from Birch trees). They provide sweetness to food and drinks, sometimes without adding any extra calories. Sugar substitutes are becoming a more popular choice for people who have to avoid sugar for health reasons (diabetes) or those that simply want a healthier option that adds sweetness without the harms of refined sugar. A lot of people use artificial sweeteners like sucralose or aspartame to replace sugar in their diet, but they are not the best option – we do not carry harmful substitutes like these. Artificial sweeteners like these can have detrimental effects on your health.

Different Types of Natural Substitutes
Agave, honey, maple syrup, date sugar, molasses, monk fruit, stevia, xylitol, menthol, and yacon root are some of the most popular natural sugar substitutes. They can be used in a wide range of recipes, from desserts to breakfast cereals – you can easily find the best-suited option to replace refined sugar (or even brown sugar) in a baking or culinary recipe. The best thing about these natural sugar substitutes is that they taste better than artificial sweeteners and are much safer.
