Natural Sweetener, 1Kg

I was really put off by some of the reviews on here but really wanted to try an alternative to my high sugar intake. I had previously tried all kinds of artificial sweeteners but found they made me really unwell, with a huge appetite and feeling like I had flu all the time. First of all I want to deal with the diarrhoea issue and stomach problems that a few people have raided in their reviews. I have tried this now for 36 hours and had no effects whatsoever. I am a huge tea drinker and consume up to ten cups a day with one sugar. I tried it in 5 cups yesterday and a further 5 today with no ill effect. I did initially halve it in my first two cups just to be on the safe side but to be honest I didn't like the taste, now I'm back on one spoon and it tastes fine and is quite similar to sugar in taste although slightly different, however it is far better than any artificial sweetener I've previously tried. In addition and having done some research, this is also good for your teeth and not just because you're avoiding cane sugar either its the actual product . I also found its supposed to be excellent for sinus problems as a nasal spray/wash and I'm currently trialling that as I suffer quite badly with it (probably something to do with my high sugar intake as well from a fungal point of view) All in all a great product, I will post an update in a few weeks in the meantime I'm really pleased with it.

I've been using all sorts of sugar alternatives for years and did some research on Xylitol. It has been used for many, many years and in World War II was used as a sugar alternative as there was no sugar to be had! I cannot recommend Xylitol enough. My husband is a sugar-holic and has 2 teaspoons of sugar in every cuppa!! Some months ago I gradually switched the sugar in the bowl to Xylitol and he never even noticed. For quite some months he's been on Xylitol solely and when I finally told him, he couldn't believe he hadn't been taking sugar! That's how good it is and how natural it tastes. I actually think it's sweeter than sugar and use slightly less, but it's personal taste. I'm a home baker and have been using Xylitol instead of sugar for years, you use it exactly the same as sugar, pound for pound, cup for cup, except I always use slightly less as mentioned. I now supply small tea rooms and coffee shops with my cakes and no one can believe that my cakes are actually SUGAR FREE! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Great Product, this works out cheaper than the 250 g packs of Total sweet I have been getting from Sainsburys, and seems exactly the same. Great for cooking and use on cereals and in drinks, quantity exactly the same as you would use sugar. Doesn't have any aftertaste nor does it produce the blood sugar highs experienced with standard sweetners, So far have not had the same horrid digestive issues experienced after Stevia! Apparently if you read all the blurb on Xylitol it has many other health giving properties such as oral hygiene, combating tooth decay and enamel repair, preventing middle ear and skin infections by preventing bacterial growth, and also aids bone health and collagen production...I am hoping to look 10 years younger after this bag !!!

This is a kilogram of natural xylitol, derived from birches. Sweetener from birches, that alone should convince you to buy it! But for those who are not familiar with the stuff, here's a breakdown of what it is and does: It looks like sugar. It consists of small grains exactly like sugar crystals of the regular variety found in the supermarket. It tastes like sugar. It has the same level of sweetness, unlike stevia and most artificial sweeteners, which are many times sweeter and as such can cause trouble when substituted for sugar. It doesn't have an aftertaste or side-taste or unpleasant smell or anything - just a faint, pleasant cool sensation on the tongue when placed in the mouth. It bakes like sugar. Most sugar substitutes affect the cookies and cakes they are used for in some way, often reducing volume and crunch and making the bake tough, crunch-less or downright inedible. Xylitol renders beautiful cookies. The imperfections in that last batch were down to me and my oven! The difference between xylitol and sugar seems to be in the benefits. You get a lower caloric value, a lower GI (which makes it suitable for diabetics!) and it's better for your teeth. In fact, it's been proven to help reduce bacteria in the mouth! In short, I can't rave about this stuff enough. It's my go-to sweetener out of all the sweeteners in the world. I use this in my low sugar diet. My friends and family say it's cheating, but I don't care - I get to lose weight and still enjoy my hot cocoa in the evening! The only downside, which can be a biggie depending, and which lost it one star: its antibacterial effect works in the gut as well as the mouth, which can lead to unpleasantness. I'm trying to be delicate here. You've been warned...

Perfect 👌

Xylitol is a real change to normal sugar for me. I had read so much about it, particularly with regard to maintaining stable blood sugar levels. There is a different taste to your tea or coffee no doubt. But it is not a chemical taste, and once used to it you'll find that you need about half the amount of regular sugar to obtain the same sweetness. I am going to carry on buying this and have faith that it is a step in the right direction for improved health. When compared to all of the other substitutes out there, I like it that this is not really processed or artificial because it comes from birch trees. 5 stars.

i never thought I could give up sugar as I have a very sweet tooth. And I always thought oh how can I live without sugar. This had replaced the actual sugar in my life, I have lost some weight, but the only problem is if you are a heavy tea drinker, this will most probably last you 15-16 days, you have 3 options either subscribe for delivery for every 15 days 2- mix it with normal sugar 3 - mix it with the sugar alternative you can get from the supermarkets and it'll be enough for you for 1 month. On the previous months on my first trial I bought 2 different brands to try out and decided this one was the best. That 2 packs lasted me 1 month and a week. but this time I run out of it in 15 days and my mugs are huge size.

Tastes great in tea and coffee and has a much lower glycemic load than sugar so you don’t get the sugar rush and lethargy afterwards as some people do with sugar. Despite the name Xylitol is actually completely natural and has a number of advantages over sugar. It also helps to prevent tooth decay and our children love it. The only bad thing is is that is highly toxic to dogs (they can’t metabolise it), so you need to keep it somewhere dogs can’t accidentally eat it.

Depuis des années je consomme du sirop d'agave mais j'ai lu des choses pas flatteuses sur ce produit (fructose). J'étais bien embêté car du sucre à IG bas, sans aller vers les édulcorants chimiques immondes au gout, ben je pensais que ça n'existait pas. Hé si. Ce sucre est excellent : il est naturel, faible IG, zéro fructose et surtout il est super bon. Le gout est très proche du saccharose, avec un léger côté rafraichissant en plus (difficile de décrire un gout). Bref si vous en mettez une cuillère sur du fromage blanc personne ne verra la différence avec du sucre en poudre, ça c'est garanti ! C'est plus cher que du sucre mais comme j'évite de mettre du sucre partout j'en ai pour 1 an je pense.

Premetto che ho provato il prodotto per la prima volta su suggerimento medico in quanto non incide a livello glicemico , e devo ammettere che ho trovato il prodotto veramente ottimo , non altera il gusto e dolcifica in modo soddisfacente secondo me quasi quanto lo zucchero , direi un ottimo prodotto salutare assolutamente da provare.

I like this product. I like the fact that it is made from birch and not from corn. I believe it is a little less sweet than the corn version but that is okay with me. The one beef I have with it is that the resealable packaging does not actually reseal. I have purchased several of these so far and it is the same with them all no matter what size you order. You may think it is closed only to have it fall over in your cupboard and spill half of it's contents. -_- Still I give it 5 stars for the product itself.

gut und lecker, sehr teuer, aber wer kein Zucker essen will, muss halt dafür bezahlen. es arbeitet aber, ich benutze schon seit Jaren Birkenzucker, und werde es auch weiter tun.

Bag looks different but the same stuff.
