Just in time
for the fall baking season, we’ve got you covered with a full line of
alternative sweeteners from NOW Foods:
Beet
Sugar is derived from the refining of sugar beets. It contains 99.9% pure
sucrose and is a suitable substitute for cane sugar in all recipes. Some people
who are allergic to table sugar may be able to use beet sugar. 3lbs, Reg. $5.99
Pleasant
tasting Date Sugar is derived from dates and can be used as a natural sweetener
in place of refined sugar. Add to baked goods, breakfast cereals, toast, or
beverages. 1lb, Reg. $7.99
Dextrose
(also known as glucose) is a monosaccharide or simple sugar that is about 25%
less sweet compared to cane sugar. Derived entirely from corn, dextrose is
low-cost and contains no fructose or lactose. 2lbs, Reg. $4.89
Erythritol
is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol derived from a corn source and found in
small amounts in various plants, fruits and fungi, including mushrooms. It
contains virtually no calories (95% less calories than table sugar), has a low
glycemic impact, and doesn’t contribute to tooth decay. All of the detriments
of sugar are absent in Erythritol, yet it tastes just like sugar and is about
70% as sweet. Erythritol has a clean, sweet taste and is the perfect natural
substitute for sugar in many applications.16oz, Reg. $8.99
Fructose
is commonly called "fruit sugar" because it is the main sugar in many
fruits. However, fructose is now produced from corn syrup, which is derived
from corn. Fructose is almost 50% sweeter than sucrose and requires about 2/3
the amount to get the same sweetness. This means fructose provides nearly 33%
fewer calories per serving.1.5lbs, Reg. $3.29
Qi’a
(pronounced Kee-ah) is a new Nature's Path Superfood Cereal made with Chia,
Hemp and Buckwheat. This power trio of seeds and grains is chock full of
plant-based protein, fiber and Omega-3’s. Qi’a is available in a blend of
vanilla-dusted cranberries and almonds, a blend of cinnamon raisins and green
apples, or an original blend with no added sugar.
A little Qi’a goes a long
way: boost your nutrition with only 2 tablespoons of cereal in any of the
following ways:
-
Enjoy as a breakfast cereal by mixing with your favorite milk (dairy, almond,
soy or rice)
-
Mix into your favorite yogurt or fruit smoothie for the ultimate protein snack
-
Stir into hot oatmeal or soup for a nutritious energy boost
-
Sprinkle on top of your salad for that extra crunch
-
Bake into your favorite muffin, bread, or cake recipe
