Vegans may not have a lot of options available when it comes to sweetening their foods and beverages. Here are five best vegan sweeteners that are healthy and natural alternatives.
Dates or date syrup
The date syrup is one of the best sweeteners that vegans can use in their desserts and dishes.
Maple syrup
It is derived from the sap of the maple tree and most of the world's maple syrup comes from Quebec in Canada. It is healthier than refined sugar due to the presence of antioxidants and minerals.
Coconut sugar
Coconut sugar is known to be lower on the glycemic index as compared to regular sugar.
Brown rice syrup
It is made from brown rice and is prepared by breaking down starch present in the grains, which results in easily digestible sugars.
