Sweetness

Best all-around traditional liquid sweetener for health-conscious guests — lowest calorie liquid option with genuine antioxidant content and moderate GI.

Low GI at the boundary (54). Predominantly sucrose (~60%) with small amounts of glucose and fructose. Contains measurable manganese, riboflavin, and over 54 antioxidant compounds — the most nutritionally substantive of the traditional liquid sweeteners. Lighter grades (Golden, Amber) slightly milder flavor. Still high sugar content; diabetics should limit intake.
