Even though the human population is totally addicted to sugar, we’re also becoming more and more aware of its dangers.  Sugar contributes to obesity and dental decay, not to mention many other negative health and psychological conditions.  More and more, people are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth with sugar alternatives.  Spouted pouches are by far the best way to contain both dry and liquid sugar replacements.

A few sugar alternatives include stevia, an Asian herb 300 times sweeter than sugar, xylitol, a plant sugar, and more common options such as honey and maple syrup.  Stevia and xylitol come in a granular format, which is perfectly suited to a stand up pouch with a re-sealable zipper.  They are calorie-free alternatives that do not pose the same health risks for obesity.

Liquid sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, molasses and concentrated fruit juices are best kept in containers that offer convenience and cleanliness.  There are a lot of well-designed options for liquid packaging that come with plastic screw caps and spouts in order to make it easy to pour out just what is necessary.  Now that people understand the health benefits of switching to sugar alternatives, it’s great that so many great choices are out there!
