What is Xylitol (Birch sugar)?
Xylitol is found as a natural sugar alcohol in many vegetables, fruits and the bark of different trees. Our birch sugar is made exclusively from birch and beech wood from Scandinavia. The Xylitol is extracted from the wood sugar (xylose) in a very complex way. Finely chopped wood is mixed with water. The wood-water mixture is then purified and filtered until all other substances are completely separated from the xylitol.
Birch sugar is a natural sweetener suitable for diabetics
Birch sugar is almost as sweet as sugar. It has slightly less sweetness as the familiar refined (white) table sugar but affects the blood sugar only slightly. This sugar is therefore very suitable for diabetics, as its glycemic value is only 7. Moreover, it contains far fewer calories than refined sugar.
