There is so much debate on the importance of Low Sugar Foods in our daily diet that the market is now flooded with a variety of Low Sugar products. But is sugar really needed in small quantities by our body?

Well, sugar is actually a concentrated source of energy for our body. It does not have any nutritional value but it gives us short term energy boosts. Very high intake of sugar is not advisable for people with diabetes or those who are keeping a check on their weight. At the same time, totally restricting the intake of sugar is also not good as it makes a person lethargic. Thus, a Low Sugar diet is ideal.

Low Sugar foods are available in enormous variety. Some of these include Low Sugar Cereals, Desserts, Pastas, Snacks and lots more. An addition to this list are Low Sugar Sauces. These are available in different flavors to choose from.

One can also make these sauces at home. To start with, you can try the Cranberry Low Sugar Sauce. All it requires is 12 oz fresh cranberries, ¾ cup Splenda, ¼ cup raw sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 cup water. Put all the ingredients in a pan. Place this on a medium flame and stir continuously. The cranberries will pop out after some time and the batter will become consistent. Now remove this from the flame. Refrigerate the sauce and serve when cold.

A variety of ready made Low Sugar Sauces are also available in the market to choose from. These are quick and easy to make sauces. Just pour the contents of the pack in a pan, add some water and heat. The sauce is ready! The Low Sugar - Alfredo Pasta Sauce Mix from Dixie Carb, for instance, is a low carb and low sugar sauce mix.
