Paleo-FriendlyThe paleo diet subscribes to the belief that we should eat like our ancestors. Essentially, if an item was unable to be accessed by a caveman, becasue it wasn\u2019t naturally occurring, we shouldn\u2019t be consuming it either. This means that the majority of a paleo diet is focused on unprocessed, unrefined, non-packaged foods. This can include meats, vegetables, eggs, and some fruit and nuts. However, this eliminates dairy products, grains, and sugars.While trying to avoid some of these items can be easy (think dairy-free alternatives), sugars or sweeteners are a part of so many different foods, including items that are marketed as healthy. When you need that sweet element, these seven paleo-friendly options can help.Jerusalem Artichoke SyrupJerusalem Artichoke Syrup is low on the glycemic index scale, making it useful both for those on the Paleo diet and diabetics. It tastes sweet and is rich in a pre-biotic called inulin. Inulin works in your body to feed other probiotics, helping improve the natural flora of your intestinal tract.Lucuma PowderLucuma powder is made by drying and powdering a lucuma fruit, found in Peru and Ecuador. It is quite sweet and is useful when added to flours or other dry goods.Monk FruitAlso known as luo han guo, this plant native to Southeast Asia is zero-carb and calorie, and many times sweeter than sugar. There is research showing that monk fruit has antioxidant properties, although it is not yet known if the sweetener possesses the same benefits as the whole fruit. You can purchase monk fruit powder or sweetener from a variety of health food stores or purchase a whole dried fruit and grind it yourself.Note: Many products are now combining Erythritol with Monk Fruit creating a very sweet product with a low sugar content. Unfortunately, Erythritol can cause digestive disturbances and is now thought to \u201cbe associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death.\u201d (WebMD)Raw HoneyRaw honey is considered to be a superfood because of the numerous benefits it provides. It can, however, be quite high in carbs and calories, so it\u2019s best to use this sparingly, as a treat. It is also twice as sweet as regular table sugar, so keep that in mind when adding it to a food or beverage.Raw Maple SapThe pure sap given from maple trees is a natural sweetener that has been used by Natives for centuries. It is thick, sticky, and has a hint of sweetness. When boiled down and allowed to reduce significantly, it becomes maple syrup. The syrup or sap can be added to recipes to add sweetness and rich maple flavor.SteviaThe dried leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant, native to South America, are a natural sweetener. They are around 10\u2009\u2013\u200915 times sweeter than regular table sugar. You can purchase stevia as a whole plant, dried leaves in bulk, or as a powder.Yac\u00f3n SyrupThis syrup comes from the tuberous roots of the yac\u00f3n plant, native to South America. It has a sweet taste, similar to caramelized sugar, and is also low in calories and carbohydrates. There is currently no industry standard for yac\u00f3n syrup, so you may find that some are over-processed or cooked and have a high level of carbsWhether you are on a diet, like Paleo, or are just looking for ways to cut back on your sugar intake, seeking out and trying alternative sweeteners can be good for your health and your palate.
