Nutritional Information

1. Does the nutritional value of SugaVida reduce when cooked?

There will be some loss of the nutritional value when heated and cooked. Tests suggest a 5-10% loss. However, if youre using SugaVida for its nutritional value, we recommend you consume it without heating, in a smoothie, in water or in milk.

2. What is the shelf life?

The shelf life of SugaVida is 18 months.

3. How does it compare on calories?

SugaVida contains between 375-397kcal per 100g, around the same as white sugar, although as SugaVida is naturally sweeter you will use less. Unlike sugar, SugaVida is packed full of valuable nutrients, so youre not consuming empty calories.

4. How does SugaVida compare to Stevia/ Xylitol?

Stevia and Xylitol are both highly processed natural sweeteners. Most stevia is highly processed using chemicals and in many cases uses the Rebaudioside A extract, which is made using solvents and then mixed with other chemical sweeteners. In addition, some of the new research into Stevia shows that it plays havoc with brain chemistry signals and metabolism. Xylitol (and other fruit alcohols), may offer zero calories and be good for teeth, but have shown to produce digestive disorders and discomfort in many people.

Its far better to have a natural, unrefined sweetener, which delivers the most nutritional benefits Use it in moderation.

5. What makes you say B12 is bioavailable?

Studies show the bio-availability of B12, plus the feedback from dieticians, nutritionists and doctors with their clients and patients also showing significant changes.

6. Is it raw?

Its not raw but heating has been kept as low as possible.

7. Is SugaVida suitable for a paleo diet?

2. Will it change the taste of my food or drinks?

SugaVida has a rich caramel- like flavour and enhances the taste of all food and drink.

3. How do I substitute it in recipes?

Use around 30% less SugaVida compared to white sugar to achieve the same level of sweetness.
