About C&H® Light

C&H® Sugar has been sweetening your favorite foods and beverages for over 100 years. Now there's C&H® Light – a 100% natural sugar blend with half the calories of sugar. By blending pure cane sugar with the zero-calorie, naturally sweet extract from the stevia plant, and a natural flavor to enhance the taste, C&H® has created a delicious light sweetener with no artificial ingredients.

The tropical stevia plant, originally discovered in the warm highlands of South America, has been used for centuries as a sweetener. C&H® Light is made from the extract of this stevia plant and then blended with another one of nature's pure sweet plants, the sugar cane. Our balance of sugar cane and stevia extract creates the ideal sweetener – a perfect sweet taste and half the calories of sugar!

Baking with C&H® Light

Baking with C&H® Light sugar is easy–

Replace 1 cup of Sugar with 1/2 cup of C&H Light.

The difference is exactly half, making it simple to convert favorite recipes. Although, since you are baking with a sugar and stevia blend, you may notice a few minor differences in your baking. If you want to make slight adjustments to your recipe for the best possible results, follow these tips:

• Color – Sugar is needed in baking to form a nice golden color in baked goods. Since there is less sugar in C&H® Light, the color of baked items may be lighter. So don't go by color alone when baking with C&H® Light.
• Moisture and Texture – Sugar adds volume and helps to retain moisture to cakes so if you are using a cake, or cake-like recipe, such as brownies, you may notice that when baked with C&H® Light the cake will be a little denser than the original recipe. To compensate:
• Increase the size of the baking pan, which will decrease the baking time and temperature, helping to retain moisture.
• Add an additional egg to the recipe.
• Incorporating nuts helps to add air into your cakes, making them lighter in texture.
• Use oil, margarine or vegetable shortening or a combination of these, instead of butter.
• Increase the liquid content of the recipe slightly.

Consider flavors when baking with C&H® Light

The stevia plant extract naturally has a slight licorice-like essence. C&H has added a natural flavor to balance the C&H® Light for baking and sweetening foods where you want other flavors to come through stronger. Chocolate and cinnamon are flavors of choice when baking with C&H® Light. Also try combining your recipes with natural fruits: bananas, oranges, apples and pears. We also recommend avoiding recipes that call for tart or sharp flavors such as lemon, lime, pineapple or mint.

Making Beverages with C&H® Light

Whether you use the 5-calorie packets or a teaspoon from the C&H® Light bag, it is the perfect sweetener to use in beverages and to help cut back on calories. It easily dissolves and mixes into both cold and hot drinks. Use it for sweetening iced teas, a fresh fruit punch and it is also great for making fruit smoothies!

FAQs about C&H® Light

Q.  What is Stevia?
Stevia is an herb, native to the highlands of South America. The extract from the leaves of a stevia plant can be crystallized and turned into a powder or a liquid sweetener. It is 200 times sweeter than granulated sugar. Alone, stevia extract is all natural, has no calories and is naturally sweet.

Q.  Is C&H Light safe for people with diabetes?
Stevia alone does not have an impact on blood sugar levels, however C&H® Light is a blend of granulated sugar and stevia extract, so it is best to consult your personal physician before consuming this sweetener.

Q.  How do I store C&H® Light?
You can store C&H® Light just as you would store granulated sugar. Be sure C&H® Light is kept sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.

Q.  Does C&H® Light have an expiration date?
C&H® Light Sugar & Stevia blend products have been given a one-year shelf life from the pack date. However, if stored properly, it can last considerably longer.

Q.  Why do you blend stevia with sugar?
Stevia naturally has a licorice-like flavor which can leave a bitter aftertaste when added to foods and beverages. To balance out the aftertaste, we created a perfect blend of stevia with cane sugar and a natural flavoring.

Q.  How much stevia is used in C&H® Light?
Since C&H® Light is a proprietary blend of sugar and stevia, we are not at liberty to share the particulars with the public. C&H® Light is an all natural, reduced calorie sweetener that has met with all FDA regulations and contains no known allergens.

Q.  What is the difference in baked goods made with cane sugar compared to those baked with a sugar and stevia blend?
Cane sugar plays a major role in baking. While you can replace the sweetness, you can never fully replace all the functions of sugar, such as browning, volume or texture. For tips on baking with C&H® Light, click HERE.
