Excerpt from The American Diabetes Association

Sugar is another source of carbs. There are two main types:

Naturally occurring sugars like those in milk or fruit
Added sugars, which are added during processing, like in regular soda, sweets and baked goods

Added sugars, when consumed with solid fats and excess energy intake, have been linked to health concerns, including overweight and obesity, type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, inflammation and cardiovascular disease. You may have heard added sugars referred to by other names—or seen one of these listed in the ingredients in a food label. Dextrose, fructose, lactose, table sugar, beet sugar, honey, corn syrup, turbinado and agave are just some of the many names for added sugars.

Finding the amount of sugar

Did you know that you can find the amount of both added and naturally occurring sugars listed in the new nutrition facts label? Learn how to decode the label.

Sugar Alcohols

Another item you may find on some foods’ nutrition facts label under total carbohydrates are sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are sweeteners that have about half the calories of regular sugar. Despite their name, they are neither a sugar nor and alcohol. They occur naturally in certain fruits and vegetables, but some are man-made and are added to processed foods. Many foods labeled "sugar free" or "no sugar added" have sugar alcohols in them

Sugar Substitutes

There are so many products on the market now that are referred to as sugar substitutes. Most of these are nonnutritive sweeteners, which means that one serving of the product contains little or no calories or impact on blood glucose.

For our Sugar-Free Desserts, we use a harmonious blend of Monkfruit and Erythritol to provide the perfect sweetness without the need for refined white sugar. This blend not only imparts a delectable sweetness to our treats but also ensures that you can enjoy them without the concerns of a sugar-induced spike.

2. Gluten-Conscientious Flour Selection

If you're in search of Gluten-conscientious Desserts, look no further. A Little Sum’n Sweet relies on two main flour alternatives to cater to your gluten-conscientious needs:

Almond Flour: Renowned for its nutty flavor and fine texture, almond flour serves as a fantastic base for many of our gluten-conscientious creations. It imparts a unique richness and nuttiness that complements our desserts perfectly.
Brown Rice Flour: For those seeking an alternative, our use of brown rice flour adds a distinctive flavor profile to some of our gluten-free treats, providing variety and delicious results.

3. Whole-Wheat Flour as a Healthy Alternative

In response to your specific preferences, we happily substitute Whole-Wheat Flour for White Flour whenever requested. This choice introduces an element of wholesomeness to our desserts, offering a richer and nuttier flavor while retaining a healthier profile.
