Aspartame and Cooking

Aspartame is widely used in cooking and baking. The ingredient allows those with diabetes and other medical conditions more flexibility in their diets, and is a low-calorie, no-carbohydrate alternative to sugar. Several tabletop sweeteners containing aspartame as the sweetening ingredient can be used in a wide variety of recipes.

Equal, the leading aspartame-sweetened, low-calorie sweetener in the United States, features a number of recipes on its web site including lunches, dinners, beverages and desserts. Click here for tips on how to cook with this aspartame-sweetened ingredient and for access to Equal's recipes page.
