Birkengold® Xylitol is a sweetener derived from natural plant resources. The xylitol – commonly known as birch sugar – is 100% sourced from Europe and is extracted from the nutrient-rich fibers of birch bark. It has the appearance and taste of sugar and is equally sweet.
Since Birkengold Xylitol is as sweet as regular sugar, you can use it particularly easily: simply measure it 1:1 like sugar, done. Whether in coffee, cake batter, desserts, or muesli – wherever you would normally reach for sugar, birch sugar works just as well. You don’t need to convert or experiment; your favorite recipes will turn out as usual.
Xylitol belongs to the sugar alcohols and is valued as a sugar substitute because it provides fewer calories than regular sugar and can contribute to dental health. You can find all the important information about this sugar substitute – from tolerance to sweetness to dosage – in our Xylitol category.
Good to know: Like all sugar alcohols, xylitol can have a laxative effect in large amounts – it’s best to gradually acclimate your body to it. And an important note for pet owners: Xylitol is toxic to dogs, so birch sugar and sweet treats made with it should be kept out of your pet's reach.
