SAM Original Superfoods Xylitol - 500g

Xylitol can be used as a replacement for sugar. Xylitol is warmth resistant when used for cooking and baking. It combines and dissolves like "normal"sugar.

 

Xylitol  looks and tastes like sugar but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.

 

What is xylitol?

A naturally occurring sugar alcohol found (in trace amounts) in many fruits and vegetables, xylitol can be processed from certain trees or from a plant fiber called xylan. It tastes about as sweet as regular sugar, but with only about half the calories per serving. Store-bought xylitol is a white, crystalline powder that can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sugar in recipes.

 

What are the health benefits of xylitol?

Eating too much sugar has been linked to a host of serious health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and tooth decay, so sugar-free sweeteners like xylitol are a compelling alternative.

 

Xylitol is lower in calories and carbohydrates than sugar

 

Xylitol is an excellent alternative to sugar for people who need to watch their weight, their blood sugar levels, or both. The sugar alcohol contains about 2.4 calories per gram (compared with 4 calories per gram in regular sugar). That makes it a good option for those who want to limit their simple carbohydrate intake, like people with diabetes or related metabolic syndromes.
