A sweetener derived from the guava fruit that does not contain added sugars or rely on sucrose or fructose for its sweetness. This product typically employs artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols to achieve a similar taste profile to traditional guava syrup while minimizing caloric content and impact on blood glucose levels. It can be used in beverages, desserts, and other culinary applications where a sweet guava flavor is desired without the associated sugars.
The development and use of such alternatives address health concerns related to high sugar consumption, such as diabetes, obesity, and dental issues. These variations offer a way to enjoy the taste of guava without the negative consequences of sugar intake. Historically, fruit syrups have been a staple in many cultures, but the modern focus on health has driven innovation to create options that cater to dietary restrictions and health-conscious consumers.
