Natural Sweeteners.

Two easy ways to use less table sugar at home: a monk fruit sweetener that swaps spoon for spoon in chai and baking, and date powder made from nothing but dried dates.

Which one should I choose?

| | Monk Fruit Sweetener | Date Powder | | --- | --- | --- | | Made from | Monk fruit extract and erythritol | Dried dates only | | Taste | Clean and sweet | Rich, caramel-like | | Dissolves in tea | Yes | No, leaves a fine sediment | | Best for | Chai, coffee, lemonade, baking | Milk, laddoos, smoothies, porridge, baking | | Swap for 1 spoon sugar | 1 spoon | About 1½ spoons |

Many families keep both: monk fruit for daily chai and coffee, and date powder for desserts and kids' milk. The Sugar Swap Kit has both together.

If you are managing diabetes or follow a medical diet, please ask your doctor which sweetener suits you.
