Fruisana® Fruit Sugar

...the Low-GI sugar

FruisanaÆ 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.

FruisanaÆ Fruit Sugar looks and tastes just like ordinary sugar (sucrose), and is the same granular texture. However, fruit sugar is nearly twice as sweet, 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 FruisanaÆ 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.

And fruit sugar has an additional advantage: it has 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 or glucose. 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.

FruisanaÆ 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", and especially diabetics who may also use fruit sugar sparingly (up to 25 - 40g per day) as an alternative to artificial sweeteners, because of its minimal effect on blood sugar levels.

FruisanaÆ 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 20ƒC lower temperature than ordinary sugar. And because FruisanaÆ is a natural sugar, it tastes and feels just like ordinary sugar with none of the aftertastes associated with some artificial sweeteners.

Fruisana® is sold in major supermarkets such as Sainsbury, and also in health stores throughout the UK, price £1.19 for 250g.
