Sweeteners, whether classified as natural or artificial,
have long been prized for their mouth-pleasing ‘sugar’ taste,
but they have many other functions in cooking and baking.
Natural sweeteners exist in many forms, and can be found widely in nature, particularly
in fruit products. Purified natural sweeteners are usually derived from sugar
cane, sugar beet or corn syrup.
