Are you wanting a little sweetness but trying to avoid sugar? Try Sukrin Gold.
I was speaking to a nutritionist friend of mine about avoiding sugar and how Stevia doesn’t seem to affect blood sugars and has low carbs… so it’s good if you are doing low carb, keto or diabetic. I have heard of lots of different types of ways you can use Stevia, the drops fascinated me, but I haven’t tried them yet. But I wanted something that could be measured in the same kind of way.
So he told me about Sukrin gold. There are a few different types, and I have tried the white one too. that tastes fine, is a little more powdery. the gold version though is like adding brown sugar. It looks like brown sugar in the packet and behaves similar too.
So I ordered it (small pack to try) from amazon. It wasn’t cheap but I don’t use much sugar, so it was fine. I think if you use a lot of sugar and are going to replace it, you may want to buy in bulk as that would be cheaper than the smaller packs. If you want to try it the smaller bag (for someone who doesn’t use a lot of sugar was fine, and its sealable so it doesn’t go hard and stays fresh/moist.
What did I like about Sukrin Gold?
The thing I liked about it the most was that you really do use the same levels. It is much sweeter than sugar in my opinion, but sugar is so bad for your health generally that for me, it is the best option.
If you normally hate sweeteners, this is one to try. Even on amazon reviews there are loads of people who like the product for its taste and ease of use and I agree.
If you’re on any kind of weight loss or sugar restriction because of diabetes or weight training etc, this doesn’t seem to have any negative impact on that. A lot of the Stevia products leave a “cool” feeling on your tongue. This does, but not to the same extent. It feels like it evaporates. In texture it reminded me of brown sugar in some ways.
A couple of ways I’m going to try it next is in coconut yoghurt and on pancakes with some lemon juice… to see if if is ok as a substitute for that. Not sure if it will thicken things like sugar does yet either (like jam consistency).
Overall, if you don’t use too much sugar this is great, the taste (for me and many others) seems to match brown sugar, but it is very pricey.
NB This is NOT a paid promotion. I genuinely use this product.
Additional comment. I tried in the coconut yoghurt and it was really nice. On pancakes though it wasn’t the same as sugar and that “cool” feeling is much more noticeable. It didn’t give that syrupy feel that lemon and sugar does.
