For people with diabetes
Delicious sugar substitute for diabetics
Sweetness that fits a well-balanced diet
Living with diabetes does not mean the food you love has to leave your kitchen. Zùsto is built on prebiotic fibre from chicory and corn, so a cake, a spread or a warm dessert can come back to the table.
With a glycemic index of 22 and no digestible carbohydrates, Zùsto replaces sugar one for one by weight · the recipes you already know stay exactly as they are.

How it works
Fibre where the sugar used to be
The fibres from chicory root and corn are not digested as sugars are. They help stabilise the blood sugar level rather than sending it up and down, and they lower the calorie intake of the whole preparation.
Because the fibre carries the volume and the structure, Zùsto still caramelises, still browns and still whips · the pleasure of the dish is unchanged.
Against 65 for traditional sugar, so the effect on blood sugar is far gentler.
There is no aspartame in Zùsto, in any form.
Chicory and corn fibre feed the gut flora instead of adding digestible carbohydrates.
