White sugar is notorious, which is why many people are looking for healthier sugar substitutes. Here are 6 foods that allow us to enjoy a sweet taste, without remorse!
Honey
Honey is a natural bee product that is renowned for its health-promoting properties and is much tastier than white sugar. Honey has an antibiotic effect and is worth substituting for sugar, despite its higher calorie content.
Stevia
Stevia (a.k.a. malt herb) is a sweetener whose main advantage is the lack of calories in its composition. On the other hand, the downside is a specific taste that not everyone likes.
Xylitol
Xylitol (birch sugar) contains approximately 40% fewer calories than white sugar. It is often used by diabetics and people on a reduction diet. It has a beneficial effect on digestion.
Erythritol
Erythritol is a healthy zero-calorie sweetener with a taste similar to traditional sugar. It is recommended for diabetics and patients suffering from obesity.
Lucuma
Lucuma is a little-known sweetener with a high fibre content. Its calorific value is approximately 25% lower than that of white sugar.
Chicory syrup
Chicory syrup tastes similar to regular sugar. As with lucuma, it contains a lot of fibre, so it should be used in moderation (too much chicory syrup increases the risk of indigestion).
