YOUR SWEETENER BUYING GUIDE
By Adriane Campos

FOR FURTHER LEARNING
The resources on sugars & sweeteners are vast, as are the resources on cooking with them. When writing for this blog, I try to explain concepts, such as where sweeteners come from and what they are made of, in nontechnical language. I believe readers from all scientific levels learn from it, from a layperson to researchers, engineers, and chefs. However, depending on the depth of your scientific interests, you may choose to further read and listen. Helpful resources include:
-
For information on cooking, baking, and recipes, visit websites of sugar substitutes sold in stores for use by consumers >>
-
For detailed information on sweeteners, visit websites of ingredients sold to food & beverage manufacturers >>
-
