Because of the presence of molasses in raw sugar, it has a distinct flavour that&#8217;s missing in white sugar. Pure molasses has an even richer, darker flavour that is required in rich cakes and gingerbreads. The stronger flavours also require you to use less in a recipe to achieve the taste you want.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agave syrup<\/strong> &#8211; agave ranks fairly low on the glycemic index, but it is still a type of sugar. As a less processed alternative to white sugar, and with a pleasant and extremely sweet taste this has proved a popular alternative in baking recipes and smoothies.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/suma\/suma-organic-agave-syrup-250ml\/\" target=\"_blank\">Suma Organic Agave Syrup<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/biona\/biona-organic-maple-agave-syrup---350g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biona Organic Maple Agave Syrup<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Honey<\/strong> &#8211; we have a wide selection of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/search\/?search=honey\" target=\"_blank\">honey<\/a>, which is fantastic in recipes, on toast, and in drinks. Although honey has more calories, it&#8217;s even sweeter than sugar so you will need to use less to achieve your results, and it has a lower Glycemic Index (GI) rating which means it&#8217;s digested more slowly, resulting a less rapid &#8216;spike&#8217; of blood sugar.

Although maple syrup still contains sugars, it&#8217;s a more sustainable and natural version with way more taste. Maple trees are tapped and the sap is taken directly without cutting down any trees. Concentrated down without any additional processing, pure maple syrup is sought after and incomparable in taste. Don&#8217;t be fooled by &#8216;maple flavour syrups&#8217; &#8211; they&#8217;re not the same, and are cheaper more processed syrups without any of maple&#8217;s famously delicious taste.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/meridian\/meridian-organic-maple-syrup-250ml\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meridian Organic Maple Syrup<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Coconut palm sugar and coconut nectar<\/strong> &#8211; derived from the coconut palm tree and touted as being more nutritious and lower on the glycemic index than sugar, they have a delicious flavour (no, they don&#8217;t taste of coconut). Coconut sugar is made in a natural 2-step process: A cut is made on the flower of the palm and the liquid sap is collected. The sap is gently heated until most of the water has evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>Although detailed studies are hard to come by, coconut sugar and nectar does contain small amounts of several nutrients including iron, calcium, zinc and potassium along with some short chain fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants that may also provide some health benefits. It contains a fiber called inulin, which may slow glucose absorption and explain why coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/biona\/biona-organic-coconut-palm-sugar---250g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biona Organic Coconut Palm Sugar<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/big-tree-farms\/organic-coconut-sugar---blonde---500g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big Tree Farms Organic Coconut Sugar<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/big-tree-farms\/organic-coconut-vanilla-sugar---500g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big Tree Farms Organic Vanilla Coconut Sugar<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/biona\/biona-coconut-blossom-nectar---350g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Biona Organic Coconut Blossom Nectar<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/the-raw-chocolate-co\/the-raw-chocolate-co-coconut-sugar---250g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Raw Chocolate Company Organic Coconut Palm Sugar<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/big-tree-farms\/organic-coconut-nectar-unrefined-sweetener---amber---340g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big Tree Farms Organic Coconut Nectar &#8211; Amber<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/big-tree-farms\/organic-coconut-nectar-unrefined-sweetener---blonde---340g\/\" target=\"_blank\">Big Tree Farms Organic Coconut Nectar &#8211; Blonde<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/cocofina\/cocofina-organic-coconut-flower-nectar---350ml\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cocofina Organic Coconut Flower Nectar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for exciting new <strong>sugar free<\/strong> products we&#8217;ll be adding to the range very soon&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching the Great British Bake Off is making us seriously hungry every Wednesday.
