Sirop sans sucre

What is Rabeko's Sirop Zero?

Rabeko Sirop Zero is a sugar-free topping syrup at 8 kcal per 100 g. You pour it over pancakes, fromage blanc, oat flakes or into a coffee, exactly like a conventional syrup, but without the calories that usually come with it.

It belongs to the same family as our zero sauces, except that it is runnier and exclusively sweet. Its texture comes from two plant-based thickeners, cellulose gum and xanthan gum, and its sweetness from sucralose. It is that combination that makes a thick topping possible with no sugar and no fat. The rest of the Dutch range can be found in our Rabeko aisle.

The flavours we list: Chocolate and Salted Caramel. The manufacturer's documentation mentions two more, Vanilla and Strawberry, which are not in the catalogue as things stand. The list of variants available on this page is what counts.

What is in Sirop Zero?

The per-serving values are calculated from the per 100 g column published by the manufacturer.

8 kcal per 100 g is the figure that sums up the whole product. A generous 20 g serving delivers less than two calories, where the same amount of maple syrup delivers around sixty and 17 g of sugars. On a day when you are counting, the difference is far from trivial: it is what lets you keep a dessert without changing your total.

Salt is the only line that varies sharply from one flavour to another, and that stands to reason: Salted Caramel contains salt as a declared ingredient, which Chocolate does not. If you are watching your sodium intake, that is the point to look at.

One inconsistency deserves to be flagged rather than glossed over. The composition of Salted Caramel lists roasted sugar syrup among its ingredients, while the nutrition table declares 0 g of sugars per 100 g. The amount is in all likelihood very small and rounded down to zero, but we are not going to make that call on the manufacturer's behalf. If you need precise control over your carbohydrates, the label on the bottle you receive is what counts.

A final word on what the product cannot claim: no health claim is associated with this type of syrup. It does not help anyone lose weight in itself — it simply avoids adding calories where a conventional syrup would add them. The distinction matters, and it is already a good argument.

Ingredients list

Chocolate flavour: water, flavourings, thickeners (cellulose gum, xanthan gum), fat-reduced cocoa powder, sweetener (sucralose), preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate).

Salted Caramel flavour: water, modified maize starch, salt, thickeners (xanthan gum, cellulose gum), natural flavouring, roasted sugar syrup, preservatives (potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate), acidity regulator (citric acid), sweetener (sucralose).

Gluten-free, lactose-free, with no major declared allergen — to be checked according to the flavour chosen.

How do you use Sirop Zero?

Amount: 10 to 20 g per use. Timing: at breakfast, as a snack or for dessert. Frequency: as you like, it is a condiment. Storage: in the fridge once opened, to be consumed within four weeks. Before each use: shake vigorously.

Shaking is not optional. The gums used here reorganise themselves at rest, and the syrup separates slightly in the bottle. Without shaking, the first spoonful is runny and the last one too thick. A few seconds are enough.

The best use, the one this product really exists for, is evening fromage blanc or skyr: 20 g of syrup turns a plain product into a dessert for less than two calories. It also works very well on protein pancakes or on a oat flour porridge, where it replaces honey without the calorie cost.

In baking, bear in mind that it does not behave like sugar: it provides neither structure, nor caramelisation, nor preservation. It is there to top or to flavour, not to replace the sugar in a batter. That is the limit of the category and it is better to know it before ruining a cake.

The fridge once opened is a genuine instruction, not a precaution of principle: the water content is high and the preservatives present do not do away with the need for cold. Four weeks is the period stated by the manufacturer.

Who is Sirop Zero for, and who is it not for?

It suits someone on a calorie deficit who does not want to give up sweet things, someone limiting their carbohydrates, and someone who eats a lot of plain dairy and ends up growing tired of it.

The formula is gluten-free and lactose-free, with no major declared allergen, which makes it accessible to most exclusion diets. The composition does vary by flavour, though: check the label on the bottle you receive if you have a serious allergy.

The manufacturer advises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women. That statement is unusual for a topping syrup and we are reproducing it exactly as it is worded, without interpreting it: if you are pregnant, the question is one for your doctor.

It also flags a possible laxative effect if consumed to excess. At 10 or 20 g per use, that is not a problem at all; emptying half a bottle over a plate of pancakes is another matter.

What you should not expect from it: this is not a slimming product. It makes nobody lose anything. What it does is avoid adding 60 kcal and 17 g of sugars to a dessert, which is only worth something if the rest of the day is coherent. And if the aftertaste of sweeteners bothers you, no quantity will make it pleasant: that is a matter of palate, not of dosage.

Zero syrup or zero jam?

The two sit on the same shelf and are chosen according to the texture you are after.

Zero jam is thicker and contains pieces or fruit purée, which gives it body and a taste closer to the original product. It is the better choice for spreading, for lining the bottom of a yoghurt, or when you want a texture that holds. It generally delivers slightly more calories, a few dozen per 100 g, which is still very low.

The syrup is runny, it pours and spreads itself out. It is the better choice for topping, for flavouring a hot drink, or for stirring into fromage blanc, where jam would form clumps. It also goes lower in calories, at 8 kcal per 100 g.

If what you need is more on the savoury side — cooking without fat, dressing a salad — then calorie-free sauces are what to turn to. And if you are looking to flavour a powder rather than to top something, flavourings and sweeteners answer that need better. One classic and devastating pairing: this syrup over a spoonful of peanut butter, on fromage blanc.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories in a serving?

Around 1.6 kcal for a 20 g serving, the product being listed at 8 kcal per 100 g. By way of comparison, 20 g of maple syrup delivers around sixty calories and 17 g of sugars. That is the whole point of the product.

Does it need to be kept in the fridge?

Yes, once opened, and consumed within four weeks. The water content is high and the preservatives present are no substitute for cold. Before opening, a dry spot away from the light is enough.

Why does the bottle need shaking?

Because the gums that give the syrup its texture reorganise themselves at rest and cause a slight separation. Without shaking, the consistency is uneven from one use to the next. A few seconds of vigorous shaking are enough to restore the original texture.

Can it be used in baking?

For topping something already baked, yes. For replacing the sugar in a batter, no: it provides neither structure, nor caramelisation, nor any hold under heat. It is a finishing product, and that is what it does best.

Does it really contain zero sugar?

The nutrition table declares 0 g of sugars per 100 g. The composition of the Salted Caramel flavour does, however, list roasted sugar syrup among the ingredients, in a very small amount. If you need to count your carbohydrates precisely, the label on the bottle you receive is the only reference.

What is the difference between the flavours?

Chocolate contains fat-reduced cocoa powder and has a very short composition. Salted Caramel is more complex: modified maize starch, salt declared as an ingredient, natural flavouring and roasted sugar syrup. The latter is also saltier, which is the point to look at if you are watching your sodium.

Is there a laxative effect?

The manufacturer flags one if consumed to excess, which is a standard statement for products thickened with gums. At the recommended servings of 10 to 20 g, there is nothing to worry about. It is with very generous, repeated use that the question arises.

Where can you buy Rabeko's Sirop Zero?

The flavours can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. At the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product we put into the hands of people who give in every single evening: a fromage blanc with a topping solves the problem better than a lecture on willpower. The rest of the sugar-free treats aisle can be browsed in our sports nutrition section.

Qu'est-ce que le Squeeze Syrup d'INLEAD ?

Un concentré de boisson sans sucre en flacon souple de 65 ml. Deux millilitres suffisent pour 250 ml d'eau : un flacon donne donc 8 à 12 litres de boisson prête, selon l'intensité que vous aimez.

Une fois diluée, la boisson apporte 1 kcal pour 100 ml, zéro sucre, zéro polyol.

Le chiffre qui compte : le rendement

C'est le seul qui permette de comparer honnêtement deux sirops. Un flacon de 65 ml paraît minuscule à côté d'une bouteille de sirop classique d'un litre — mais celui-ci est bien plus concentré : 2 ml pour un verre, contre 15 à 20 ml pour un sirop traditionnel.

Ramené au litre de boisson finie, c'est là que le calcul se fait, et c'est pour cela que nous affichons systématiquement le rendement plutôt que le volume du flacon.

Deuxième point, souvent mal lu : le tableau nutritionnel est donné pour la boisson préparée, pas pour le concentré. C'est ce qui explique le 1 kcal pour 100 ml.

Six goûts, une base commune

Les valeurs nutritionnelles sont identiques sur les six : seuls les ingrédients changent — arôme, jus concentré, colorant. Le Thé glacé citron et la Pomme utilisent un caramel au sulfite d'ammonium comme colorant, le Mojito des complexes cuivriques de chlorophylles, l'Orange du carotène. Tout est détaillé goût par goût dans l'onglet Ingrédients.

Une réserve sur le goût Citrus Vibe, que nous préférons écrire noir sur blanc : l'étiquette publiée par la marque pour ce goût est celle d'un autre parfum. Nous avons demandé confirmation et nous ne reproduirons pas une liste d'ingrédients dont nous ne sommes pas certains. Elle sera mise en ligne dès que la marque nous aura répondu.
