Lampados International will launch Liteez, a next-gen sweetener, at the ISM show in Cologne, Germany.
This dual-purpose meringue kiss sweetener melts in coffee or other hot drinks. Alternatively, it can simply be enjoyed as an ultra-low calorie sweet treat.
This new sweetener delivery system, shaped like a meringue, is egg-free, sugar-free, and vegan. Put two meringue kisses in your coffee, stir, and enjoy all the sweetness of sugar.
Two Liteez contain about two calories instead of 20 calories in one teaspoon of table sugar.
“The idea was to craft a whole new concept for a healthier, tasty, and indulgent sweetener–to simply create a new experience for coffee and tea or as a casual snack,” says Noam Kaplan, CEO of Lampados.
The product is a plant-based snack, and is free from allergens such as eggs, gluten, lactose, or nuts, and contains only six simple ingredients.
“Many consumers crave something sweet both in and with their coffee,” notes Kaplan. “Our new kiss fulfills both needs for a delicious, low-cal sweetener or as an indulgent dessert, without compromising on taste and while helping with weight management.”
Liteez was developed in collaboration with Practical Innovation, Israel, an award-winning global innovation company. It uses a vegetable protein that has the ability to foam like eggs to help create the desired kiss texture and form.
