Sorbitol: The Naturally Sweet Ingredient in Flèche Sugar & Gluten-Free Lemon & Orange Cookies
At Flèche Healthy Treats, we craft indulgent, guilt-free desserts without sugar, gluten, or dairy—because we believe healthy eating should never mean sacrificing taste. One of the secrets behind the irresistible sweetness of our Flèche Sugar & Gluten-Free Lemon and Orange Cookies is sorbitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in fruits like apples, pears, and citrus.
Not only does sorbitol add a mild, natural sweetness, but it also offers several health benefits, making our cookies a smart, satisfying choice for health-conscious individuals.
What Is Sorbitol?
Sorbitol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables. It is about 60% as sweet as sugar but with fewer calories, making it an excellent alternative for those looking to cut back on sugar. In our Flèche Sugar & Gluten-Free Lemon and Orange Cookies, sorbitol enhances the citrusy goodness without spiking blood sugar levels.
Health Benefits of Sorbitol
🍋 1. Supports Oral Health
Unlike traditional sugars, sorbitol does not contribute to cavities. It is noncariogenic, meaning oral bacteria don’t ferment it as easily, reducing the risk of tooth decay. This makes our cookies a better alternative to conventional sweetsfor those who care about their dental health.

🍊 2. Helps Manage Blood Sugar Levels
Sorbitol is absorbed more slowly in the body, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar rather than a sharp spike. This makes our Flèche Sugar & Gluten-Free Lemon and Orange Cookies a fantastic choice for people managing diabetes, low-carb lifestyles, or anyone looking for a balanced energy boost.

🌿 3. Aids in Digestion
Sorbitol acts as a natural humectant, meaning it helps retain moisture and support gut health. It also has mild laxative properties that promote healthy digestion, making our cookies not only a treat but also a gut-friendly snack.
