The liquid sweetener boasts a sweet and salty flavor that pairs well with everything from [coffee and oatmeal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-label-coffee-syrup) to yogurt and ice cream, and it is packaged in a resealable squeeze pouch that helps to keep messes at a minimum. As well as being appealing for its [sugar-free formula](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caloriefree-dessert-sauces), the caramel-flavored sweetener is gluten-free, vegan-friendly, Non-GMO Project Verified, low glycemic and carb-free, which makes it suitable for those who are following the popular keto diet. The simple, [plant-based syrup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soulsweet) is made with just a handful of ingredients, including natural caramel flavor, sea salt, water, vegetable glycerin and gums.
