SoulSweet, a super-potent sugar alternative set to debut at the Summer Fancy Food Show, and its proprietary ingredient blend is said to be eight times sweeter than sugar—a quarter teaspoon replaces two teaspoons of sugar.
SoulSweet details, "This product was primarily produced to improve those with diabetes, improve their diet, and maintain even blood sugar. It was also created for young children to improve their overall diet and reduce tooth decay." At the same time, SoulSweet does what other sweeteners can't by delivering clean, balanced sweetness without an unpleasant aftertaste or causing bloating.
This sweetener is ready to be stirred into everything from lemonade and tea to dark chocolate and ice cream. As such, SoulSweet is preparing the foundation for a ready-to-drink range featuring SoulSweet lemonade and tea.
