About Product
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol naturally derived from plants, corn, birch, and other hardwood trees.
Originating in Finland in the 19th century, it was first discovered by the German chemist Emil Fischer in 1891. Xylitol is a low glycemic, low-calorie sugar substitute and has been used as a sugar substitute for decades.
Xylitol has about 70% of table sugar's sweetness but has fewer calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.
Nutritionally, Xylitol contains around 2.4 calories per gram and is low in carbohydrates.
Xylitol has a slightly lower glycemic index than sugar and is considered a safe sugar substitute.
Our Xylitol is produced in a GMP / ISO9001-certified facility and meets the standards of purity set by US Pharmacopoeia. Each batch undergoes extensive testing for purity and safety.
Suggested Use: Use as a tabletop sugar replacement. Add as desired to recipes, drinks, or baked goods.Ingredients: Non-GMO Xylitol.

Xylitol is comparable to sucrose in sweetness and has been shown to be noncariogenic, possibly anticariogenic."
