Vegetable Glycerin - 500 ml. Food Grade

Glycerine is a clear viscous, odourless liquid with a moderately sweet taste. It was first identified in Sweden in 1979 by K.W. Scheele.

Food grade vegetable glycerine is comprised of 99.7% fatty esters, made from either coconut or palm oil. The remaining 0.3% of vegetable glycerine is water. Glycerine is not chemically related to sugar and although it has about the same food energy as table sugar it has no effect on insulin and blood sugar levels, thus making it safe for diabetics and people with candida overgrowth. Nor does it feed the bacteria that form plaques and cause dental cavities.

Our glycerine is produced from vegetable sources and has approximately 27 calories per teaspoon and is 60% as sweet as sucrose.

Glycerine is most commonly used in the home as a low G.I. sweetener for baking.

If you cannot eat sugar or wish to avoid sugar in your diet, vegetable glycerine could be an enormous help.
You can still cook your favourite biscuits and cakes but substitute this product in place of the sugar.

100% pure Vegetable Glycerine is a safe, permitted low glycaemic index sweetener. It contains no carbohydrates or cholesterol. Derived from coconut or palm oil, this product is excellent for use in raw foods as well as in baked and cooked foods.

Suggested Use:

A little goes a long way - only one tablespoon of vegetable glycerine is equivalent to about 1/4 cup of sugar. However, when the glycerine is heated, some of its flavour evaporates, so you may wish to use a little more in cooked products. It is best to mix it into sauces after they have cooked.

Kosher & Vegan:

Vegetable Glycerine is pure Kosher grade and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It can also be used in recipes as a substitute for glycerine of animal origin.

Calories:
