Fruisana® Fruit Sugar

PURE FRUCTOSE
Fruisana® Fruit Sugar is pure crystalline fructose, a natural sugar, not an artificial sweetener. Fruit sugar (fructose) occurs naturally in fruits and in honey and nearly 50% of the dry weight of apples, pears and grapes may be fruit sugar.

Fruisana® Fruit Sugar looks and tastes just like ordinary sugar (sucrose), and is the same granular texture.

NEARLY TWICE AS SWEET
Fruit sugar is nearly twice as sweet as ordinary sugar and consumers can use up to a third less than they would otherwise use. Since gram-for-gram fruit sugar is the same calorie count as ordinary sugar, dieters who prefer a natural sugar to artificial sweeteners can usefully use Fruisana® Fruit Sugar in their calorie controlled diet as an alternative to ordinary sugar, since they can cut back their sugar intake with no loss of taste.

THE LOW GI SUGAR
Fruit sugar has the additional advantage of the lowest Glycaemic Index (GI = 19) of all the common sugars and does not cause the rises and falls in blood sugar levels associated with sucrose, glucose or even honey. It thus avoids provoking the hunger pangs that many experience after eating or drinking something sweet, and therefore does not stimulate an unnecessary tendency to snack. Fruisana® is thus perceived by many consumers as a healthier alternative to ordinary sugar, and appeals to many who seek to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is of particular benefit to all those pursuing a "Low-GI Diet".

SUITABLE FOR DIABETICS
Diabetics may use fruit sugar sparingly (up to 25g - 40g per day) as an alternative to artificial sweeteners or ordinary sugar, because of its limited effect on blood sugar levels, provided this consumption is counted towards the daily carbohydrate allowance.

HOW TO USE FRUISANA®
Fruisana® Fruit Sugar may be used in the home in just the same way as ordinary sugar, but using less to achieve the same sweetness level. It can be added to cereals or stirred into drinks, used in baking and preserving, and sprinkled onto fresh fruit. It actively enhances the flavour of many fresh fruits (especially strawberries) and is an aid to baking since it browns at approx 20°C lower temperature than ordinary sugar. And because Fruisana® is a natural sugar, it tastes just like ordinary sugar with none of the aftertastes associated with some artificial sweeteners.
