How do you keep the sugar so low?
We use a combination of 3 incredible sweeteners:
Organic stevia, a plant grown in Paraguay that's been used as a sweetener for more than 2 centuries.
Allulose, a low-calorie sugar found naturally in jackfruit, figs and raisins.
Erythritol, a type of sweetener known as a ‘sugar alcohol’ which is made by fermenting the sweet, natural starches in fruits and vegetables.
Do all your Cookies & Truffles contain peanuts?
Yes, we use peanut flour in all our S.O.S. cookies and truffles. It's a great source of protein which also offers a variety of other benefits, including:
Heart health: Peanuts contain unsaturated fats, which can help lower bad cholesterol and improve heart health.
Blood sugar control: Peanut flour has a low glycemic index, meaning it releases sugar slowly into the bloodstream, which can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Dietary fiber: Peanut flour is a good source of dietary fiber, which can promote gut health and feelings of fullness.
Essential vitamins and minerals: Peanut flour is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including niacin, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin E.
What allergen warnings are there?
All S.O.S. cookies and truffles contains peanuts and tree nuts. They are also produced on equipment that may contain trace milk products.
Where are the ingredients?
Each product's ingredients are located on the respective page in a drop-down that says "Ingredients."
Please find the, Nutrition Facts panel in the image carousel.
What are those white sand-like specks on my S.O.S.?
Don't worry! That white dusting on your S.O.S. isn't mold, but harmless crystallization. This natural process happens when moisture interacts with sugar crystals, causing them to dissolve and then re-crystallize on the surface.
But wait, S.O.S. is a practically sugar-free product, right? Great question! Surprisingly, crystallization can still occur even with low-calorie sweeteners like erythritol, resulting in a whitish streak or "bloom" appearing on top of your product.
So, rest assured! Crystallization affects only the appearance and texture, not the safety, shelf life, or flavor of your delicious treat.
What is the difference between the S.O.S Cookie and Truffle?
The cookies are soft, thick cookies almost like a brownie. The truffle is great if your down with a "raw" dough texture, baked to perfection.
Why is protein important?
When it comes to nutritious foods, the power of protein is widely touted by experts and fitness enthusiasts for good reason. Not only does protein provide satisfying calories that keep you full and fueled longer but it helps build, repair, and maintain the body’s tissues.
What are Net Carbs?
The term “net carbs” simply refers to carbs that are absorbed by the body. To calculate the net carbs, take the total carbs and then minus the Allulose, Erythritol and fiber since they cannot be absorbed by the body.
