SUGAR SWAP TOOL
The Sugar Swap Tool is an easy-to-use interactive tool that will help you get details and compare sugar alternatives sold in stores across the United States. It's an online resource that you can access on your computer, tablet, or mobile. If you’re thinking about swapping sugar in your coffee, tea, dessert, baking, or cooking recipe, you need this tool!
It has two major sections:
1. The Sweetener Calculator™
2. The Sweetener Comparer™
HOW MUCH SWEETENER SHOULD I USE INSTEAD OF SUGAR?
We’ve all been there: You’re ready to try a healthier sweetener, but when it’s time to measure it, a cascade of questions. If your recipe calls for x amount of sugar, how much of an alternative should you use? Do you need to adjust other ingredients? To help you do the math of converting between sugars, syrups, and alternatives, I created an interactive tool called Sweetener Calculator™.
To see how products stack up side-by-side, use my Sweetener Comparer™. As the name implies, it compares sweeteners based on the sweetness level, calories, sugar content, net carbs, and glycemic index. Also, it gives you their ingredients and related products. Sweet!
