Product Information

Tastes exactly like sugar, but is not absorbed or metabolised by the body and therefore will not increase weight or raise insulin levels. Perfect for cooking and baking. A healthy alternative to sugar.

Sucralose - Naturally Sweet Powder contains no aspartame, saccharin, cyclamates or high glycaemic carbohydrate fillers such as dextrose or maltodextrin.

What is Sucralose, gluco-mannitol and gluco-sorbitol?

Sucralose an intense sweetener made from sugar, unlike other sweeteners which are made from non-sugar artificial synthetic precursors. Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than Sugar and provides no calories. Sucralose is not well absorbed by the body, and the little that is absorbed is excreted in the urine unchanged. It is heat stable in cooking, tastes like sugar and has no after-taste. Gluco-mannitol and gluco-sorbitol are natural sugar alcohols, also made from sugar. They are only partially absorbed which contributes to their health (probiotic effects and low GI). This along with their heat stability make gluco-mannitol and gluco-sorbitol an ideal base for sucralose.
