Xylitol | Sugar substitute | 240 kcal per 100 g
Xylitol: sweetness like sugar, with fewer calories
Liovela xylitol – 100% xylitol, a sugar substitute for coffee, baking and preserves.
The ingredients list has one line: xylitol 100%. It is a polyol, a sugar substitute with fewer calories than sugar: 240 kcal per 100 g against about 400 kcal in sugar. You sweeten coffee, tea and drinks with it, and add it to baking, desserts, purées, smoothies and preserves. One note: excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
What it's for
Three uses from the label
Everyday sweetening
Add to coffee, tea or a drink instead of sugar. It is suitable for sweetening drinks, so you spoon it in just as you would sugar.
Cakes, creams, desserts
Use for baking and desserts. Start by swapping sugar at about 1:1 and adjust to taste.
Sweetness for fruit
Sweeten purées, smoothies and homemade preserves. Keep preserves sweetened with xylitol in the fridge.
Good to know
Before you start sweetening with xylitol
Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. Start with small amounts and increase gradually.
Xylitol is not food for yeast, so add a little ordinary sugar to yeast dough so that it rises.
In the kitchen
Xylitol: 5 ways to use it
Instead of sugar
Stir a teaspoon into hot coffee or tea. Start with the amount you normally sweeten with.
Baking without sugar
Replace the sugar in a loaf cake or muffin batter with xylitol. Start at about 1:1 and taste the mix before baking.
Creams and puddings
Dissolve the xylitol in warm milk or cream before adding the other ingredients so the crystals disappear.
Fruit from the fridge
Add to apple or raspberry purée. Keep the finished preserve in the fridge and use it up sooner than traditional jam.
Sweetening in the blender
Add a teaspoon to the blender with the fruit and milk. Blend until the crystals dissolve completely.
Add Liovela xylitol to your basket and sweeten as usual.
Storage
A simple rule
Keep xylitol in a dry, cool place and close the pack well after opening.
Well sealed, it stays loose and does not clump.
