Sugar Conversion Chart

 

  • Each Equal packet or 1/4 teaspoons of Equal for Recipes is equivalent in sweetness to two teaspoons of sugar
  • Each Equal tablet is equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar.
  • Equal Spoonful measures just like sugar.
  • Equal sweetens like sugar, but its cooking properties are different. Equal works very well in fruit pies; however, cakes, cookies and pastries depend on sugar for bulk, tenderness, and browning, properties that sugar alternatives don't have.
  • Remember, sweetness is in the eye of the beholder: adjust the amount of Equal in your recipes to get just the right taste.
  • Experiment with Equal and become a gourmet chef. For example, Equal works very well in fruit pie fillings.
  • When cooking with Equal, use recipes designed for Equal or add to recipes after removing from heat to maintain sweetness. Prolonged cooking at high heat levels may result in some loss of sweetness.
