Sweeteners February 12, 2011
Posted by Teresa in : General , trackbackI just thought I’d share some sugar alternatives that I’ve discovered!
Instead of processed white sugar, why not try:
- brown sugar
- organic sugar
- sucanat (raw sugar cane)
- molasses
- honey
- agave nectar
While these are all better options than white sugar, why not try sweet fruits instead? Depending on the recipe, you can try
- dates
- figs
- bananas
- raisins
- sweet fruit juice such as pear, white grape or nectarine
For example, molasses or agave nectar is great as a sweetener in BBQ sauce. Notice I haven’t mentioned corn syrup? It’s no better than white sugar.
So next time you need to sweeten something, why not use fruit and benefit from the nutrients and flavour too!
