Nature’s alternative to sugar
Xylitol, also called 'wood' or 'birch sugar', is used around the world, by millions of people, as an alternative to sugar and is a naturally occurring sweet tasting substance that looks and tastes just like sugar, but has various healthy benefits. Xylitol is found in a whole host of plants and fruits, such as raspberries, plums and strawberries, and is even made in small amounts by the human body.
With all the sweetness of common sugar, Xylitol has 40% fewer calories, a GI of 8 and is excellent as part of any weight management program. Food or drinks containing xylitol instead of sugar induces a lower blood glucose rise, after their consumption compared food or drinks that contain sugar.
Xylitol is delicious and versatile. Enjoy it in equal measures to standard sugar in your hot drinks, cakes and cooking or sprinkle over fresh fruit, cereals and yoghurt.
