CSR LoGiCane™ LowGI Sugar

CSR LoGiCane™ uses world first technology to develop a sugar with a naturally Low Glycemic Index (GI).

It works by spraying an all natural molasses extract onto raw sugar. This molasses naturally increases sugar’s resistance to digestion.

By having a low GI, CSR LoGiCane™ takes longer to be digested, resulting in a slower release of energy, which can help curb hunger cravings.

CSR LoGiCane™ represents innovation in sugar – the same sweet tasting natural sugar, with the added benefit of a Low GI rating of just 50.

CSR LoGiCane™ carries the official Low GI symbol and is available in 375g and 750g packet, at major supermarkets nationally.
