“Global Organics has launched several new sweeteners recently. Dylan Bates, category manager for proteins and alternative sweeteners, Global Organics, describes these new products….
- Organic date syrup: This item is derived naturally from whole dates. Unlike many other sweeteners, the finished product contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the original date. Date syrup is appropriate for granola bars, cereals, bakery, sauces and spreads, and other confectionary items.
- Organic tapioca syrup: This is derived from the cassava plant and is often preferred by formulators for its colorless and flavorless profile. It comes in a variety of dextrose levels to meet different viscosity and sweetness needs. Tapioca syrup is ideal for a variety of applications, including granola bars, cereals, bakery, ice cream, and confectionary items.
The sweetness level of these products will vary depending upon the dextrose equivalent of the syrup, but agave and date are generally sweeter than sugar (only needing 0.5 to 0.75 cups to replace 1 cup of sugar), and with tapioca being slightly more mild than sugar.”
