Fructose-Free Sugar: No More Digestive Discomfort
Estimates suggest that up to 30% of people may suffer from fructose malabsorption or fructose intolerance. Many of them are unaware of their condition, but may notice digestive discomfort, diarrhea, and/or bloating after consuming fructose-containing foods, indicating that something may be wrong.
If you experience such symptoms, you can undergo testing with a gastroenterologist to determine if you are affected by fructose malabsorption. However, it may also be beneficial for completely healthy individuals to avoid consuming too much fructose. For this purpose, our fructose-free sugar alternatives from Tom & Krissi’s are suitable.
What sugar alternatives are there?
Both natural and processed foods contain various types of sugars or sugar substitutes. This includes, in addition to the usual household sugar found in almost all industrially manufactured products, fruit sugar (fructose) found in fruit.
These two types are problematic for fructose intolerance. Unfortunately, these sugars are not the only ones that cause intolerance in fructose-intolerant individuals. This also includes honey, agave syrup, coconut blossom sugar, maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, and fructose-glucose syrup.
Among the sugar alternatives, there are also some that you can safely consume with fructose malabsorption. These fructose-free sugars include:
- Dextrose/glucose
- Glucose syrup
- Maltose/malt sugar
- Lactose/milk sugar
- Rice syrup
- Grain sugar
- Spelt syrup
- Sugar substitutes such as saccharin, aspartame, and stevia
The best sugar alternatives from Tom & Krissi’s
Need a sugar for baking or cooking? Want to enhance delicious desserts? Or need an alternative sweetener that doesn't taste like a chemical lab? Then the sugar alternatives from Tom & Krissi’s in the form of our grain sugar or rice syrup are just right for you!
Order grain sugar
Grain sugar is a fructose-free sugar that consists of pure dextrose obtained from grains. To sweeten with this sugar alternative, you need to know: 1 unit of granulated sugar equals 1.25 units of grain sugar. The product has very good baking properties because it contains less water than normal glucose.
If you use it to bake cookies, for example, they will stay crispy longer. However, note that the grain sugar clumps when stirred into cold liquids. Therefore, when preparing, add it initially to the fats during baking. Mix it with the eggs or water - if necessary according to the recipe - so that you can sprinkle the sugar alternative into the mixture while mixing.
Tom & Krissi’s grain sugar is:
- Fructose-free
- Lactose-free
- Gluten-free
- Vegan
