This New Sugar Could Massively Change Grocery Products As We Know It

This Company Hopes To Make Grocery Products Even Healthier By Kiersten Hickman Sugar can be sneaky. While it is an obvious ingredient in sweet treats and beverages, it is also subtly prominent in packaged foods that line the shelves of grocery stores today—like granola bars, salad dressings, even ketchup. And yet, while these types of groceries are laden with added sugars that aren't particularly good for you, these products have become household staples that seem nearly impossible to give up. But what if the sugar content of these products wasn't so high? What if your favorite groceries tasted exactly the same, while also providing nutritional benefits? Would the health of our nation shift? Would we feel better about picking up the foods that have become an integral part of our homes? Sure, brands have tried this in the past. "Diet" versions of many popular household foods exist on shelves today, marketed as sugar-free or fat-free renditions of your favorites. But The Supplant Company doesn't claim to be the next diet product or the best new low-calorie sweetener. It hopes to completely alter the grocery industry. Made from a variety of fibrous plants, this new sugar can easily make your favorite packaged foods taste just as good, while also benefiting the environment—and your health. As Chef Thomas Keller, puts it, "we are making history." After two years of experimenting with Supplant™ in his own recipes, this Michelin-rated chef was able to master the art of using this high-fiber sugar in recipes that had various media and food professionals marveling—and asking many questions: how can a sugar made from fiber taste this good? And can it really be healthier for you?   READ THE FULL ARTICLE    Latest Grocery & Restaurant News There are plenty of ways you can save money with a Costco Gold Star Executive membership.
