The invention provides a method for producing a sweetener component comprising forming a syrup selected from the group consisting of 70%-95% glucose with water, 70%-95% fructose with water and 70%-95% sucrose with water at a temperature below 140° C., dissolving up to 30% nano-cellulose therein and cooling to form a substantially clear solid which solid can then be pulverized to form a granular sweetener composition, wherein when the solid contains up to 9% nanocellulose it is then ground to be used per se as a sweetener, while when the solid contains from 9% to 30% nanocellulose it is ground together with an additional amount of granulated sweetener selected from the group consisting of sucrose, fructose and glucose or a comestible granular component requiring sweetening and combinations thereof to form a granular composition containing between 2 and 10% nanocellulose.
