Replace sugar with any of the sugar substitutes available on eBay!
It’s no secret that a high sugar intake isn’t exactly good for our bodies. That’s why natural sugar substitutes have been developed to help keep the sweetness with none of the health concerns.
Sugar substitutes can come in different forms, for example, most are a fine extract or powder, but there are also juices and syrups available depending on your preference. These are usually a good, lower calorie substitute for extracts and flavouring used during cooking.
Because sugar substitutes are most commonly created using extracts from plant sources, or from vine-ripened fruit, there is an array of organic and non-GMO products available on eBay. However, choosing a sweetener can be confusing, with choices between complicated names like Xylitol, Erythritol and Stevia. As a basis, Xylitol is derived from natural biomass sources such as birch tree and corncob fibre and still has a calorie content; Erythritol is derived from plants like grapes, mushrooms and melons and has a very low-calorie content but tastes about 70% as sweet as sugar, and Stevia is extracted from a specific plant species and has no calories.
Obviously, taste is an important factor, if not the most important factor, to consider when looking for a sugar substitute. Most of the sugar substitutes available have a clean, sweet taste and no aftertaste. This means they can be added to tea, coffee and other drinks, or used in baking without altering the taste too much. Although, it’s important to remember that our taste buds will take time to adjust to a new flavour, so you may require a transition period to get used to a sugar substitute.
