Sugars have very different sweetening powers and very variable glycemic indices; the reference sugar Glucose has a GI glycemic index, maximum of 100. Sucrose (table sugar) has a GI of 70. These two products are therefore prohibited for diabetics and are not the friends of your slimming diet. In addition, they undergo multiple treatments, to make them "refined", to make them whiter than white, but with great chemistry!

So choose the natural sugars that we offer, they are clean, they have taste and lower GI and will therefore be allies of your health. For example coconut blossom sugar is only 25 to 35 and the absolute low GI record holder is xylitol with a GI of 7.

Composed of 100% ripe and pitted dates, our date sugar has a gourmet and warm oriental scent of dates with subtle notes of caramel. It is obtained by drying the flesh of the fruit before crushing. Its sweetening power is almost identical to that of sucrose; but unlike refined sugar, it is also rich in minerals, vitamins and fibre. Be careful with its conservation because its finesse makes it particularly fragile to humidity.
