Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I thought this article about white sugar substitutes was interesting - it was in an old Vegetarian times that I was thumbing through. I am not vegan, but some white sugar has " bone char " in it which is used in the processing, therefore not vegan. So, these are the alternatives they noted: Agave Nectar 2/3 cup:1 cup sugar; reduce any other liquid in recipe by 1/3 cup Barley Malt Syrup 1 1/4 cups:1cup sugar; reduce any other liquid in recipe by 1/3 cup Blackstrap Molasses 1 cup:1/2 cup sugar; reduce any other liquid in recipe by 1/3 cup Brown Rice Syrup 1 1/4 cups:1cup sugar; reduce any other liquid in recipe by 1/3 cup Evaporated Cane Juice 1:1 for sugar Maple Syrup 2/3 cup:1 cup sugar; reduce any other liquid in recipe by 1/3 cup Muscovado Sugar 1:1 for brown sugar Stevia Dried Stevia* 1 tsp.;1 cup sugar Green Stevia Powder 1 1/2 TBS:1 cup sugar White Stevia Powder 1/4 tsp.:1 cup sugar Liquid Stevia 1-2 drops:1 cup sugar Sucanat 1:1 for white or brown sugar Turbinado Sugar 1:1 for sugar *For use in baking, stevia leaves are best dried and finely ground with a mortar and pestle.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Didn't somebody discuss which sugar brands were clean in this respect before? I thought there were at least one or two. , " Amanda Beckwith " <lovethecold@h...> wrote: > I thought this article about white sugar substitutes was interesting - it > was in an old Vegetarian times that I was thumbing through.
