Description
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that looks and tastes like sugar but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels. It tastes about as sweet as regular sugar, but with only about half the calories per serving.
Xylitol is a white, crystalline powder that can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sugar in recipes.
When using it in baking, you will need to take into accoun that it will not caramelize or brown like sugar does. This can affect the texture and appearance of baked goods.
Also, xylitol can make baked goods more dense and dry due to its ability to absorb moisture.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight.
