Understanding Natural Sweeteners
Natural sweeteners offer alternatives to refined sugar, often providing additional nutrients or a lower glycemic impact. However, it's important to use them in moderation as they still contribute to your overall calorie and sugar intake.
- Honey: A natural sweetener with antioxidants and some trace minerals. It's sweeter than sugar, so you need less.
- Maple Syrup: Contains antioxidants and minerals like manganese and zinc. Has a distinct flavor and is slightly less sweet than sugar.
- Stevia: A natural, calorie-free sweetener derived from the stevia plant. It's much sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed.
