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! Read more

Xylitol tastes like normal sugar and it is a great sugar substitute. I would melt it to make candy for my oral health. It doesn’t really matter to me that it is not birch xylitol because I do not notice a difference from it. This is more affordable so I will keep on purchasing it. Read more

Great seller, excellent product and reasonably priced. Does not contain any other ingredients, just Xylitol! Read more

I was a little surprised to find that this was made from corn as opposed to birch. It was always my understanding that xylitol was birch sugar. This one is made from organic corn.. it taste just the same to me equal and quality and taste, and of course, as always an excellent alternative to sugar. Be mindful it can be deadly to dogs and the labeling that’s harmful to pets, not just dogs. Read more

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! Read more

To me it tastes just like sugar with no aftertaste like all of the imitation sugars on the market, and is much better for your metabolism than table sugar. I bought it mostly for the dental benefits and will dissolve a tsp of it in my mouth and swish it around for a few minutes in the morning and evening. If you don't know about the dental benefits, I would encourage you to research it. I also put a tsp in my green tea each day and it tastes great! Read more

The media could not be loaded. Xylitol is naturally derived from plants (usually Birch tree or corn) with a unique structure that works against bacteria. It is granulated and really looks like sugar. It is by far the best tasting sugar substitute available! It substitutes as a 1:1 ratio with sugar. It helps keep a neutral pH in the mouth and prevents bacteria from sticking to teeth. Both of these factors protect from tooth decay. Since bacteria cannot digest xylitol, their growth is greatly reduced.The number of acid-producing Bacteria can fall as much as 90%. Xylitol produces its own biofilm that helps prevent bacteria from making their own biofilm and sticking to your teeth and forming plaque. Xylitol reduces the levels of microorganisms that cause plaque by disrupting their energy production processes. It reduces the adhesion of these microorganisms to the teeth surface. Tooth decay happens when these bacteria consume the sugars we eat and produce acid. They form colonies under a biofilm (plaque) that keep them safe. Saliva is usually enough to repair early cavities if sugar is only consumed a couple of times a day. Since most people consume sugar several times a day, the mouth’s defenses are not enough. Research has shown that Xylitol biofilm also helps to remineralize deeper layers of enamel by binding with calcium. Fluoride can only remineralize the outer layer. Combining the two should lead to complete remineralization. Saliva with xylitol is also more alkaline and plaque pH rises as well. When pH is above 7, calcium and phosphate salts in saliva move into the weak parts of the enamel. The soft, calcium-deficient enamel then begins to harden. Canker sores happen when a bacterial biofilm is pressed into a dehydrated mucous membrane, isolating it from the reach of saliva. Since Xylitol can help dissolve this biofilm, it can also help canker sores. Read more

Arrived with no issues. Opened it up immediately and used it to make a kid friendly strawberry toothpaste. It's toddler and parent approved! I've used it as a sugar replacement in baked goods, jellies, and hot drinks also. 👍 Read more
