At The Whole Kitchen we believe in balance and having a small amount of natural sugar can be part of a healthy diet. The natural sugars we currently use in our products (when called for) are raw honey, dried fruit including a variety of dates, sulphite free dried apricots and longans and unrefined coconut sugar, which is a natural sugar extracted from the flesh of coconuts and dried naturally. All these natural sugars are less refined than white sugar and won’t raise blood sugar levels quickly like refined sugars do.
