Chef’s Secret

Fructose browns faster than sucrose in baking, so recipes may require temperature adjustments or shorter bake times.

Substitutions

Best Match

Granulated Sugar (Sucrose)

1:1 (adjust for sweetness)

Most common general sweetener, similar texture, but less sweet.

Agave Nectar

1:1 (liquid form, adjust dry recipes)

Also high in fructose, but liquid. Good for sweetening beverages.

Stevia (powder)

1:200 (much less needed)

Calorie-free option, but can have a distinct aftertaste.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup (liquid)

1:1 (liquid form, adjust dry recipes)

Chemically similar, but always in liquid form, typically industrial.

Buying Guide

Available as a fine white powder. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping.
