FAQs

Low GI Sugar is a food-grade raw sugar with a Glycemic Index (GI) of less than 55. The GI measures how quickly foods raise blood glucose levels after eating. Low GI foods are digested and absorbed more slowly, providing a steadier release of energy. Sunshine Sugar’s Low GI Sugar is made by retaining more of the naturally occurring polyphenols and flavonoids in the sugar crystals during the production process, giving it its unique health benefit profile.

Low GI Sugar is produced using a specialised process that preserves more of the natural compounds found in sugarcane. These compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids, slow down the rate at which the sugar is digested and absorbed by the body. Unlike refined white sugar, Low GI Sugar maintains more of its natural goodness while still delivering the sweetness you know and expect.

The key difference lies in how your body responds to them. Refined sugar has a high glycemic index, which means it causes blood sugar levels to rise rapidly after consumption. Low GI Sugar has been specially milled to retain natural compounds that slow down digestion, resulting in a lower and steadier rise in blood sugar. It tastes and looks like regular raw sugar but provides a healthier alternative for everyday use.

Not quite. While Low GI Sugar has the same golden colour and rich taste as raw sugar, it is not identical. The difference is in how the sugar affects your body. Raw sugar typically has a higher GI, while Low GI Sugar is tested and verified to have a GI of less than 55, making it a healthier option for those mindful of blood sugar management.

  • Supports blood sugar management – A slower release of glucose into the bloodstream helps reduce sugar spikes and crashes.
  • Sustained energy – Provides more consistent energy release compared to regular sugar.
  • Better for overall wellbeing – A lower GI diet is linked to reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
  • Everyday swap – Since Low GI Sugar can be used just like regular sugar, it’s an easy way to make your diet a little healthier without giving up sweetness.

Yes, absolutely! Low GI Sugar behaves in the same way as regular sugar when it comes to taste, texture, and performance in cooking or baking. You can use it as a direct substitute in cakes, biscuits, desserts, and savoury recipes that call for sugar. It’s the perfect option for making your favourite recipes and beverages a little bit healthier.
