Xylitol - 1 lb.

---

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is naturally present in small amounts in various fruits and vegetables.  It was originally extracted from birch trees in Finland.  NOW Xylitol is derived from non-GMO corn.  It is comparable to xylitol derived from other sources, such as birch.

It resembles sugar in consistency and taste, but has a third fewer calories and is a great sugar alternative for diabetics.  Xylitol may also inhibit cavities by denying plaque bacteria the fuel (sugar) it needs to erode tooth enamel.  It can be used as a sugar substitute in most sugar-free recipes.
