How to Buy Xylitol
-
1
Determine your price range and the amount you'd like to buy.

2
Call your local health-food stores. Xylitol is increasing in popularity, and may be found in traditional grocery stores too, but call first before making the trip.

-
3
Ask a salesperson if they've heard any feedback from other customers about Xylitol. Ask to try a sample before purchasing.
-
4
Compare prices and brands. Because Xylitol can be made from many different sources, the cheaper versions tend to be made from corn instead of the sweeter source of wood fibers. Also consider organic brands, which will be free of any genetically modified organisms (GMO).

5
Make your selection and begin using your Xylitol product in place of regular sugar.

Tips & Warnings
Remember. Xylitol is not equally sweet as sugar, so you may need to use more of it to result in the same sweetness level. Xylitol is sold by the bag as well as in containers ranging from small to large and in boxes with individual packets. Mix and match. If a store doesn't let you sample the products first, try a name brand such as Emerald Forest or NuNaturals.
