Sucanat Pronounced (Shu-Ka-Nat)

Now what is sucanat ?

Sucanat is dried, unrefined cane juice that comes from sugar. Sucanat typically is made up of sugar that has been separated from molasses. While Sucanat keeps the molasses and sugar together leaving the vitamins and minerals of the sugar cane plant intact. This minimally processed sweetener product is one of the closest to the natural state of the sugar cane plant on the market today.

Honey

We all know how Honey is made. But, I will re share this information with you again any way. Honey is made from bees of course, as bees collect nectar from flowering plants, the flavor of honey changes depending on the types of plants in an area. It is sweeter and has more calories than sugar and can raise blood sugar more than white sugar. ( not recommended if you are allergic to bee's).

Molasses

Black strap is the most common in stores, as you may see in you're supermarket, or grocery store. It contains many of the vitamins and minerals found in the raw sugar cane. A lighter, sweeter alternative is barbados molasses.

Turbinado

This sweetener comes from the first pressing of sugar cane and retains a small amount of the molasses flavor. It contains fewer calories than your regular white sugar and can replace brown sugar in baking recipes. Due to its moisture levels it should be stored in an airtight container.

Stevia

Stevia comes from an herbal leaf plant and is not a sugar so does not raise your insulin levels, the reason many diabetics use it. It can be 70-400 times sweeter than regular sugar, so a little goes a long way. Those who suffering from hypoglycemia, and any kind of seizures should consult a doctor or nutritionist as stevia can actually lower blood sugar (if you are hypoglycemia) and if you have a history of seizures (this alternative can cause seizure actives).

Maple Syrup

When thinking of Maple syrup, why not think Pure Maple syrup because pure is much healthier for you. (if you have any allergy to Maple tree's not recommended)

Agave Nectar

Agave nectar is a sweeter commercially produced from several species of agave, that includes Blue agave. there are multiple controversy over this natural product. As some claim it is actually worse than HFCS, others disagree. It contains the same number of calories as sugar but is sweeter, so less is often needed.
