what is dry sweetener

[Guest guest]

A dry sweetener, is exactly that. A sweetener used

that is not liquid. However, since many vegans avoid

using granulated white sugar (the bleaching process

involves the use of animal bones), there are others

that can be substituted. I, for one, use succanat

(sp?) You can get it in the health food store in the

bulk section, and just get as much as you need. It's a

medium brown, and is granulated, just like sugar, and

you can use it in the same ratin 1:1. So, if a recipe

calls for 1 cup sugar, just substitute 1 cup succanat.

 

If you have any difficulties finding it, ask someone

at the health food store, and they'll take you to it.

 

Good Luck!
