NATURAL SWEETENERS

Now that you’ve given your sweet tooth a 14-day rest and your sensitivity to sugar has been reset, you may welcome back a few of our favorite natural sweeteners. In moderation, you can enjoy coconut palm sugar, date sugar, honey, and maple syrup. These natural sweeteners rank low on the glycemic index—they don’t make a mad dash into your bloodstream and spike your blood sugar levels at the rate processed sugars do. Rather, these satisfying natural sweeteners break down to easily digestible glucose, which helps keep your blood sugar levels stable. We love coconut palm sugar for its molasses-y flavor and nutritional profile. It contains potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron and is a natural source of the B vitamins. Date sugar, which is nothing more than dried dates ground into a powder, ranks high in antioxidants. In fact, researchers from the National Institutes of Health have ranked it the top sweetener out of 12 in antioxidant content. Natural honey has its perks as well. Especially if bought locally, it’s commonly used to improve allergies, boost immunity, and soothe scratchy throats. If you can find it, we recommend organic, raw honey. Unlike conventional honey that’s ultra-filtered, raw honey still has all the pollen, vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes intact. Pure maple syrup is also a delicious addition this week, with high amounts of antioxidants, zinc, and the trace mineral manganese. It also contains calcium, potassium, sodium, and copper and has the same beneficial classes of polyphenols found in dark-colored foods like berries, tea, red wine, and tomatoes.
