Description
Honest to Goodness Xylitol is a crystalline sweetener produced from non-GMO corn. It looks and pours like fine white sugar and measures cup for cup in place of it in most recipes, with a clean sweetness and a faint cooling note on the tongue. It is the 600 g pack. Use it where the sugar is doing the sweetening rather than the structural work, so drinks, custards, icings and set desserts, since it will not caramelise or feed yeast the way cane sugar does.
Product Strengths
- Xylitol crystals produced from non-GMO corn.
- Substitutes one for one by volume in place of sugar in most recipes.
- Single ingredient, nothing added.
- 600 g pack.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: Blending into drinks, baking and cooking.
Not suitable for: Anyone with an allergy to the listed ingredients.
Suggested Use
Use in place of sugar in baking, drinks and desserts, measuring one for one by volume. Xylitol absorbs moisture readily and will not feed yeast, so it will not help a yeast-raised dough rise; adjust recipes that depend on that. Confirm serving and directions from product label.
Ingredients
- Xylitol crystals produced from non-GMO corn.
Allergens
Read the allergen statement on the pack. A retailer listing for the same pack carries a may be present statement for gluten, tree nuts and sesame seeds, so treat that as possible. Always review label for full list of ingredients.
Warnings
Xylitol is toxic to dogs and some other pets. Store it where pets cannot reach it and never feed pets food made with it. Excess consumption may also have a laxative effect in people.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place and keep the pack tightly sealed so the crystals do not clump or go sticky.
Disclaimer
Product information is provided as a guide only. Recipes, packaging, sourcing and label statements can change without notice, so always read the label on the pack you receive before use. This is a food, not a medicine.

Xylitol crystals produced from hardwood sources, predominantly Birch
suggested dose
As a sugar substitute, xylitol is great when cooking baked treats and can be measured 1:1, as 1/2 cup sugar equals 1/2 cup xylitol, (although some recipes may vary slightly so adjust accordingly). There are also subtle differences between xylitol and sugar when cooking or baking, xylitol absorbs moisture heavily and won’t help you like sugar does when trying to get something to raise using yeast
Xylitol
What is xylitol?
Xylitol is a sugar alcohol made from plant fibre, a sweet swap for sugar. Use the loose granules for baking and hot drinks, or choose gum and mints when you want it ready to carry.

Is Xylitol right for you?
Common questions
What's the difference between loose xylitol and xylitol gum?
Loose xylitol comes as granules you spoon out to cook or stir with, so that's the bag you want for baking and hot drinks. Gum and mints already have the xylitol in them and are made to carry around. It's the same ingredient either way. What changes is the format and what you can do with it.
Is xylitol regulated as a medicine in Australia?
Xylitol is a permitted ingredient in listed medicines (item 5228 of the Permissible Ingredients Determination), with no specific conditions attached. But xylitol sold as loose granules, gum or mints is a food, covered by the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code rather than the rules for medicines. We haven't found an approved health claim specific to xylitol, so there's no health claim we can make for it.
