HULETTS SUGALITE PREMIXES: A FIRST ON SA SHELVES

Huletts Premixes are a quick and convenient way to enjoy delicious baked treats, and their popularity is growing worldwide. The options are endless – cakes, muffins, biscuits, desserts – and the only thing missing is a low-GI (Glycaemic Index), low-kilojoule alternative... until now, that is!

Huletts SUGAlite Premixes for scones and bran muffins are about to hit supermarket shelves around the country, adding a tasty new dimension to the premix market. The premixes are suitable for diabetics and slimmers (as part of a balanced, kilojoule-controlled diet), as well as anyone looking for an easy, low-GI, low-kilojoule treat that doesn’t compromise on taste.

These premixes are sweetened with Huletts SUGAlite, a sugar substitute developed exclusively by Huletts that has become extremely popular as a baking ingredient and won the prestigious Symrise/Food Review award for Best New Product in 2004.

With the ever-increasing rate of obesity and lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, not to mention the growing variety of sugary and fatty foods available, there is a pressing need for snacks and treats that fit in with a balanced eating plan.

Huletts remains committed to providing a comprehensive range of sweetening solutions to meet the needs of all South Africans, and has conducted a great deal of research to create a Huletts SUGAlite blend that not only tastes great, but improves the texture and colour of the final product.

Huletts SUGAlite scones require only milk and eggs, while the bran muffins require milk, eggs and oil to be added, and both bake in just 20 minutes, so they really are one of the simplest baking options available. Your family may not believe that they’re low-GI because they taste so good, but these scones and muffins measure 54 and 41 on the GI Index respectively, whereas many premixes have levels of 70 and above.

Huletts has gone to great lengths to ensure that the new Huletts SUGAlite Premixes cater to every need: they are endorsed by the GI Foundation of South Africa and Diabetes South Africa, carry Kosher and Halaal certification, and are even suitable for vegans.

Huletts SUGAlite premixes for scones and bran muffins will be available in supermarkets from July 2010, as the first low-GI premixes on South African shelves... make sure you’re one of the first to get to those shelves and start baking – the easy way!
