Brown Sugar-Inspired Sweeteners

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Icon Foods IconiSweet Gold Sweetener Has Rich Color and Flavor

— August 1, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Icon Foods IconiSweet Gold sweetener is a new offering from the brand that's crafted with taste and functionality in mind to work well in a variety of applications.

The sweetener is crafted with a blend of erythritol, allulose and monk fruit extract sweeteners, which are combined with vegetable glycerin, natural flavor and caramel color. The final result is a product that replicates the taste and texture of brown sugar, and is also capable of melting, browning and caramelizing for authentic preparation effects. The product has no added sugar and comes in at 35-calories per 100-grams.

CEO Kash Rocheleau spoke on the Icon Foods IconiSweet Gold sweetener saying, "IconiSweet Gold measures, tastes and acts like traditional brown sugar, featuring a warm hint of molasses and that classic golden hue. IconiSweet Gold is the gold standard as a ready-to-use replacement for brown sugar, ideal for many applications including sweet baked goods, savory foods, and beverages.”
