Sweetners

Posted by deerhollow on Thursday, February 15, 2007 at 12:36 - Link

We are trying to make better food choices too. We use no artifical sweetners like splenda, equal , etc..
We haven't given up brown sugar yet.

Thanks for welcoming me and stopping by my blog.

Sucanat

Have you tried sucanat? I think it is supposed to be unrefined brown sugar. It has more of a molasses flavor so I don't like it for everything. I usually use honey or sucanat with honey.

Have fun experiementing!

I try to limit the sweetners we use, but we do use Really Raw Honey, Rapadura (which is unrefined sugar), and Agave Nectar. I, too, am trying really hard to incorporate a natural, whole foods type of diet. However, like the Mother Goose rhyme, "When I'm good, I'm very, very good, but when I am bad, I am horrid!" ;-)

Blessings,
Carol

thanks

thanks for sharing the link. It was very interesting. I've heard it all before... BUT you know the more you hear it... the more you consider it.... I have sucanat at home, although I don't use it much. I recently started buying cane juice crystals... but not sure how to use it so it is just sitting there. LOL. OK, I'm inspired to actually experiment. thanks again.
Warmly, ~Melissa
