All-natural sugar substitute brand Lakanto has launched a brown sugar substitute called Brown Lakanto nationally.

The company says Brown Lakanto is a sugar substitute that offers the molasses-like flavour profile of brown sugar and has zero carbs with 93 percent fewer calories than sugar. The company’s sweeteners are made up of non-GMO erythritol and monk fruit extract.

Leon McIndoe, GM of Lakanto Australia, said the brand has an “incredible reception” in Australia.

“With our award-winning Classic and Golden sugar substitutes already on the market, it only made sense to extend the range in delivering a Brown sugar substitute for Australians to enjoy,” McIndoe added.

The new sweetener comes in three sizes – 225g, 450g, and 4kg – and can be found at Coles, Woolworths, and other independent retailers as well as on the company’s website.
