NOW Foods, Xylitol, Pure with No Added Ingredients, Keto-Friendly, Low Glycemic Impact, Low Calorie, 1-Pound (Packaging May Vary)

There are several nonfermentable sugars to choose from if you want to back-sweeten ciders or wine, but I think Xylitol is the best. Some report digestive issues with high levels of xylitol intake, so if you are making a VERY sweet cider or dessert wine, you might want to look at other options (maybe erythritol) -- but for semi-sweet or off-dry ciders, I feel like you can't beat Xylitol. Adds nice, solid sweetness that (of course) will not decrease due to fermentation over time. Remember: IT IS TOXIC TO DOGS! Keep it far from your furry friends!

Xylitol is awesome because it's natural, tastes good(not sickeningly sweet, not chemically, no aftertaste), glycemic index of nearly zero, less calories than sugar, and there are potentially some health and dental benefits. Personal anecdote/success story: The old A1C was creeping up there a bit. I eat healthy, don't have a sweet tooth, almost zero premade/processed foods, what's going on?!? I realized that most days, the first calories I get in the morning are the spoonful of sugar I put in my coffee or tea. Switched to xylitol for a few months, presto the A1C is back where it should be. This 15lb bag is good stuff, and the best $$/lb I've found. If you're just trying it out, start with a smaller bag in case you don't like it. Once you know you'll like it, this bulk bag is the best way to buy. Edit 3/4/19: If you're not used to this stuff, it DOES have some laxative effect! Dosage varies with person. I didn't notice anything with a spoonful per day in my coffee, but when my girlfriend made an apple pie with it we wound up eating WAY more xylitol in one shot than we normally would have. Oh my, that's not a lesson that will need to be learned again. I'd built up some immunity with my daily consumption in coffee, so the effect for me was "only" awe inspiring amounts of gas. I think I even impressed the dog. My poor girlfriend had no immunity at all and spent several hours in the bathroom. STILL five stars, as it normally doesn't do that and all the other non-sugar sweeteners I've tried have been artificial chemically obnoxious garbage, inedible.

Good product ! Fast delivery !

One of the first things I did for health after discovering my husband is pre-diabetic was ordering this xylitol. I've used it in the past so was already familiar with the brand and product so went straight to what I already know and trust. I feel like the price is good for the amount in the package so am happy with my choice. This xylitol lets my husband enjoy an occasional sweet without causing his blood sugar to spike. I even carry a small container in my bag so he can order unsweetened tea and add xylitol to it to enjoy his drinks more when we eat out. And it works equally good with foods as well as drinks. Just keep in mind that, although the texture is the same as granulated sugar and it works well as a substute for sugar in recipes, it isn't quite as sweet so use extra to taste. And, speaking of taste, it has a good, clean sweetness with no aftertaste like stevia has. I will continue to purchase this Now pure xylitol to keep on hand.

XYLITOL IS GREAT BECAUSE IT KILLS THE EXACT BACTERIA THAT CAUSES TOOTH CAVITIES! I HAVE EVEN READ IT CAN REBUILD ENAMEL. HOWEVER IT IS LESS SWEET THAN SUGAR EVEN THOUGH I READ IT IS EQUAL! I AM USING TOOTHPASTE WITH XYLITOL AND LOZENGERS FOR DRY MOUTH. I WISH MY DENTISTS HAD TOLD ME ABOUT IT LONG AGO. IMPORTANT!!! XYLITOL IS EXTREMELY TOXIC TO DOGS AND CAN KILL THEM. NO OTHER ANIMAL IS MENTIONED. IT CAUSES A HUGE DUMP OF INSULIN AND LOW BLOOD SUGAR!

I picked this up to back-sweeten a batch of homemade wine and it worked better than expected. It dissolved pretty easily and added sweetness without changing the flavor profile too much. I also liked that it didn’t leave a strange chemical aftertaste. A little goes a long way, so the bag should last me through several batches.

Great taste, works in baking.

Good stuff. Thank you

Love this product.

そのまま舐めると甘くて冷んやりとして不思議な感じです。 上白糖よりは甘みが薄いのですが、クセや特有の匂いなどは全く無く、そのまま砂糖の代わりに使用できます。 また食後に、だんだんと口の中がネバネバしてきたり、歯がザラつくことがありますが、キシリトールは口内の菌が分解できず、働きを阻害するため虫歯予防にもなり、舐めるだけでもスッキリします。 なので自分はコーヒーに砂糖の代わりに入れています。(風味には全く変化は無く、飲むと口の中がサラサラしたままの状態をキープできるのでかなり快適です。) 化学薬品のような名前ですが、天然由来100%なのも安心です。 摂取してもすぐに血糖値が上がらないなど、砂糖の代わりに使うメリットは多いのですが、値段が若干高いのでコーヒーにチマチマ入れるだけになりそうです。 ティースプーン2杯で3g程度なので、コーヒー150杯分くらいと考えればそこそこ持ちます。 何よりも口の中がネバネバしない事が快適なので、なくなったらリピートします。

جميل جداً وأفضل بديل للسكر ولايترك اثر بعد الشرب ولا يوجد فيه مرارة في الطعم مقارنة ببعض الشركات والمنتجات الاخرى مناسب جداً وانصح فيه بشدة لأصحاب الحمية والكيتو واللوكارب

Good
