About the Product
Fructose (fruit sugar) by GoldenFarm is a 100% natural sweetener naturally found in ripe fruits, berries, and bee honey.
The product is a popular and safe alternative to regular beet sugar (sucrose) in balanced and dietary nutrition.
The main feature of fructose is its high sweetness level, which is 1.6–1.8 times sweeter than regular sugar. This allows a significant reduction in the amount of added sweetener in foods and beverages, lowering overall carbohydrate intake.
Fructose has a low glycemic index because its breakdown in the body occurs without sharp spikes in blood sugar levels and does not require significant insulin release.
The product dissolves perfectly in water and enhances the natural taste and aroma of fresh or preserved berries and fruits. Fructose is heat-stable, which is why it is often used in homemade dietary pastries, desserts, jellies, compotes, and jams. Since it retains moisture, confectionery products made with fructose stay soft and fresh for longer.
The product is characterized by a high degree of purification, is fully absorbed by the body, and serves as an excellent source of quick energy during increased physical or mental exertion.
Main Properties:
- almost twice as sweet as regular sugar, allowing the use of a smaller amount of product;
- has a significantly lower glycemic index compared to sucrose, providing a gradual release of energy;
- instantly dissolves in hot and cold beverages without leaving sediment;
- gently enhances the natural aroma and flavor of fruits, berries, and vegetables during cooking or preservation;
- helps quickly restore energy after long workouts or intense mental activity;
- compared to sucrose, has a lesser effect on tooth enamel destruction;
- GMO-free.
Form of release:
Crystalline white powder. Packaging 500 g.
Who Fructose Is Suitable For
The product is a universal plant-based sweetener for the whole family. It is advisable to include it in the daily diet of people who:
- limit the consumption of white beet sugar and seek its natural substitute;
- follow a dietary or special nutrition plan (including under specialist supervision when controlling glucose levels);
- engage in sports or heavy physical work (as quick fuel for muscles);
- aim to reduce carbohydrate intake due to the product’s high sweetness;
- prepare homemade dietary preserves, jams, compotes, and baked goods for children and adults.
Fructose consumption is only an additional element of a dietary regimen. The product cannot replace a complete, varied, and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
Recommendations for Use
Recommended as a functional sugar substitute in home cooking for preparing pastries, confectionery products, desserts, fruit preserves, as well as for sweetening beverages (tea, coffee, juices, compotes).
Directions for Use and Dosage

Scientific Data
- According to the official opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), replacing sucrose or glucose with fructose in foods and beverages contributes to a significant reduction in the postprandial glycemic response (blood sugar level after meals). This confirms the feasibility of using fructose as part of diet therapy.
- Scientific studies of carbohydrate biochemistry prove that the primary metabolism of fructose occurs in the liver via the fructokinase pathway, which is completely independent of insulin action. This meets the body’s energy needs without additional load on the pancreas.
