Healthy sweetness is possible

Everything sweet doesn’t always have to be made with sugar, and it doesn’t always have to be considered unhealthy. Because now there’s the all natural Suchero to save us from our bittersweet flings with the sugar alternatives we usually use –literally!

Suchero is made from the sap of the inflorescence or the flower buds of coconut trees. Cooked over low heat, the coco sap produces a caramel-tasting sweetener but without the bitter aftertaste that many of the existing sugar substitutes have today.

Recommended by various doctors from St. Luke’s Medical Center, Asian Hospital, and The Medical City, Suchero is the healthier alternative to sugar because of its low glycemic index . According to a study done by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology, cane sugar has a glycemic index of 60, but Suchero’s only 35. This means that Suchero is a better sweetener if you are diabetic, obese, or simply health-conscious, whatever your age may be.

Doctors are not the only ones who are recommending Suchero as an alternative for those with a sweet tooth but just can’t take its harmful effects; even bakers are giving this new sweetener a try.


At the launch of Suchero last February 16, partner of popular supplier of no-sugar added pastries, LowCal Café Co. Lindy Santiago served French Apple Torte with Crème Anglais, Pistachio Sans Rival and Oatmeal Cookies that are all made with Suchero coco sap sweetener. And I must say I really appreciate the right amount of sweetness that these pastries possessed. The taste of each one was simply delightful, especially without the worries of having too much of its tempting sweetness to the point of mere unhealthiness and gluttony.

For someone like me who loves anything sweet after any hefty meal but who is overweight and has a family history of diabetes in both sides of the family, finding a way to work around these two factors is always a challenge. But with a sweetener like Suchero, I don’t have to miss out on all the sweet things life has to offer because I know I can enjoy it all without having to compromise my health, and so can you!

Use Suchero in its individual and resealable sachets for your hot or cold drink anytime of the day, or use bigger pouches for any of your baking and cooking needs. Suchero is available in all leading supermarkets and in various sizes, all for affordable prices. Check out www.suchero.com for more information.
