Deborah Pyner (Adams, 1987) and her business partner Tina Michelucci have created the very first fruit based natural alternative to sugar and it’s now available from Waitrose,

 Ocado.com, Tesco, Holland & Barrett, Booths and local delis, farm shops and health food shops.  It’s been an interesting few years taking this excellent and unique product to market (the ‘old girl’ network has been fantastic!), and it’s now widely available and selling really well.  Made entirely from the sugars found in fruit (apples, grapes and carob) it is also extracted using no chemicals or enzymes and has nothing added to it.  

Hugely popular with kids in place of other syrups and honey, and a good choice for diabetics too, it is a healthier choice with no sacrifice in taste – it’s won Great Taste Award Golds (known as the ‘foodie Oscars’) in 2009 when just launched and in 2010 as well.  Naturally low Glycaemic, low in fructose, and lower in calories than sugar you can use it in tea, coffee, cooking and baking – anywhere you’d usually use sugar, honey or artificial sweeteners.
