Wisdom Natural Brands Launches All-Natural SugarLeaf for Baking, Cooking

Made by blending SweetLeaf Stevia and raw cane sugar, SugarLeaf offers a delightfully sweet taste, plus the browning and bulking qualities of sugar, but with two- thirds fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar.

Aug 4 2011 --- A sweet new product from Wisdom Natural Brands is hitting store shelves. SugarLeaf is an all-new, 100% natural low-calorie sweetener great for baking and cooking, aimed at meeting the demands of increasingly health-conscious consumers who want to cut sugar in their recipes without sacrificing taste or texture. Made by blending SweetLeaf Stevia and raw cane sugar, SugarLeaf offers a delightfully sweet taste, plus the browning and bulking qualities of sugar, but with two- thirds fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar. SugarLeaf will be available at Whole Foods Markets in early August.

SugarLeaf lets anyone – from at-home bakers to professional chefs – whip up naturally sweet creations with the traditional taste and browning characteristics of sugar while simultaneously cutting calories and carbohydrates. While all-natural SugarLeaf contains two-thirds fewer calories and carbs than sugar, it is three times as sweet as sugar, meaning less is used per recipe.

The new sweetener is made by bonding SweetLeaf Stevia, which uses a water-only extraction process, to the sugar molecules. No other ingredients are added. The result is an all-natural sweetener, with no chemicals and no genetically modified organisms – nothing artificial. It’s free of erythritol, other sugar alcohols and maltodextrin.

SugarLeaf, from the makers of SweetLeaf Stevia Sweetener, the only all-natural stevia sweetener with zero calories, carbs, chemicals or glycemic index, will be available in one-pound bags.
