Xylitol - birch sugar 500g Natural

Xylitol, i.e. birch sugar, is a type of natural sugar. Its chemical structure is a sugar alcohol, but its taste and appearance are almost identical to sucrose, i.e. ordinary sugar. Compared to sucrose, however, it has several properties that make it a healthier alternative. It occurs naturally in many types of fruits and vegetables, but also in the human body.

One of the main benefits of birch sugar is its low glycemic index of 7. This means that it is absorbed more slowly and has very little effect on blood sugar levels. No insulin is needed for xylitol to be processed by the body, which makes it suitable for diabetics.

In addition, birch sugar contains less energy than regular sugar, but has almost the same sweetness. It contains approximately 240 calories per 100 grams, which is approximately 40% less. This means that by replacing sucrose with xylitol, your food and drinks will be just as sweet, but will contain less energy.

Compared to regular sugars, xylitol has one big advantage. That is, it does not cause tooth decay. The bacteria found in the oral cavity are unable to metabolize it, so an acidic environment is not created in the mouth that is responsible for destroying tooth enamel. That is why xylitol is often used as a sweetener in various chewing gums and other products.

There are several substitutes for classic sugar, among which xylitol undoubtedly stands out due to its positive properties. Among the other substitutes for regular sugar in our offer, it is worth noting the BIO quality coconut sugar or palatinose, which, however, is characterized by a significantly lower sweetness.
