Nature Diet Xylitol, 1000 g, Natural Sweetener, Low Calorie, 100% natural | Sugar Substitute, 40% Less Calories Than Sugar, Sweetness Similar to Sugar, Perfect for Drinks, Cooking and Baking

Xylitol has a 'cooling' taste and I actually prefer it to sugar. But the main reason I am using this product (its expensive) is for its health benefits and tooth protection. Avoiding sugar is essential especially as you get older and less active, so to avoid diabetes switch to something like Xylitol. The price is around 5 to 10 times that of regular sugar, so I don't totally avoid regular sugar when baking, but substitute 50% for Xylitol, which helps it go further. This particular brand is a good price and so I will keep buying it because regular sugar is not a healthy option and you will already intake enough of it through normal regular food, so anything you can do to reduce it is good. Never take anything in excess, so vary what you eat, don't avoid some things that might seem bad, because most things are just fine if you vary what you eat and don't eat too much of any one thing like cakes ... LOL

Using to replace sugar. This seems quite a bit sweeter so using less than sugar eg: usually take three tsp but using one and half. Can use in baking/cooking to replace sugar use No stomach upset or side effects. I liked and thus, will continue to buy in future.

This is surprisingly very good indeed.I did some digging into its provinance online,which produced the fact that this particular variant of sugar substitute is made from corn,rather than birch trees.It is also manufactured in China,under quite strict health and production criteria,before being shipped over to the UK for bulk distribution. It's every bit as good,if not better than the more expensive xylitol.The taste and texture is excellent and it also contains zero calories.All in all,a very happy discovery and i'm pleased that someone went to the trouble of investigating just how good the production values are from fields to end product.Easy 5 stars.

The product is great. I've been using it for a year now. Have to use a bit more than you would with sugar, i.e., 2 teaspoons instead of 1 for sugar, for example... so one ends up using a lot more. Don't equate it with sugar in terms of volume. The only downside with this particular brand and its packaging is that the packaging quality is really rubbish. The so-called "re-seal" never works (as others have pointed out). I have to fold it up and use rubber bands to seal the bag and keep moisture out. Alternatively, one would need to put it into an airtight jar and keep it there.

Used this for a good while. It's questionable how it effects your health but one teaspoon in my coffee I'm okay with. The alternative being sugar, which is just awful, sweeteners that taste bad, or not using a sweetener (which I should do but just can't).

The wife uses it in baking instead of caster sugar and she says it's great. I certainly can't taste the difference.

Tastes great and easy to seal, texture matches normal sugar and i had no upset stomach like i do erythritol very effective as a sugar replacement.

Good and good price BUT the resealing zip part of the pack never works always due to the same defect. In every single packet I buy (had about 8 packs) the sealing zip part at the top of the packet that lets you reseal the bag, does NOT WORK EVER because it is only ever stuck on one side of the bag, maybe due to weak glue perhaps, but this is every single pack and I have had about 8 packs so far. Same issue every time and its been happening for years. Go read the reviews, others say the same too. The zip seal is only on one side, so you can't seal it as it isn't on both sides of the pack. Same on every single bag. So even if the seal is closed, the packet is fully open as it isn't fully stuck on both sides! Other people say the same, so this isn't a new issue and has been going on YEARS. Added a video so you can kind of see what I mean. If they fixed this I would give it 5 out of 5.
