To use in iced drinks I put it in a little water then microwave it and pour it into beverage. If you use too much it will cause a problem as the first person (from Maine) mentioned. Three heaping spoons in 16 oz would be too much if you drank the whole thing in one sitting. Two heaping spoons in 12 oz and your okay. Tastes great! |

I bake with the more unconventional flours (almond, coconut, sometimes soy) in order to maintain my low carb way of eating. I love the flavor of these baked goods, but I found that I do not like the after-taste I get from the splenda. Xylitol, although more costly, seems to be my answer. I find that I do not need to use as much of it as most recipes call for either. This is a great product, worth the price. |

I like the now foods brand as it is pure xylitol and of good consistently. |

It looks like cane sugar, it tastes like cane sugar and it really sweetens twice as much (or more) as cane sugar. I have been using for a year now and are very happy. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Diabetics will love it. |

Finicle | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1208476800 | Good for on the go, even though you will pay for the packaging. | I brought some of these packets with me today so that I could sweeten my tea at work and realized that I made too much coffee for the amount of Xylitol that I had originally put into it before I took off for my commute.
The packaging has to be 'special' because Xlyitol is pretty 'humid', in that regular paper packaging would not be optimal.
I write this because, although it's perfect for on the go, and the packaging is pretty much 'unavoidable' in regards to properly storing and transporting it, it was a pain in the butt to open one to two packets whilst driving (I had to wait for the next stoplight or I would've veered off of the road in my struggle to open the dang things!).
All-in-all a great product. Even after having a 'sweetened' cup of coffee, I don't have a 'fuzzy' mouth, like sugar would normally do! |

Others (e.g. Xlear) are 4 grams. Other than that, they appear to be the same - I just use 2 packets instead of one. Also, these packets have an inner plastic lining making them difficult to tear open with your fingers. Keep a scissors handy. |

In contrast to sucrose, or table sugar, whose glycemic index is 100, xylitol's glycemic index is just six.The key to xylitol's benefits is that it helps to break down biofilms. Brushing with xylitol , chewing xylitol gum, or sucking on a xylitol pastille several times a day has an anti-biofilm effect, according to researchers. Without the protective biofilm, bacteria just can't adhere to the enamel and release corrosive substances that cause cavities. Additionally, the bacteria that cause periodontal disease have no place to hide in the gum recesses. |

then there are great reasons to soak teeth in xylitol:

it feeds enamel at the same time .

I have put up to 6 packets in 32 ounces of tea and to no avail. It also has a horrible tendency to all settle at the bottom (requiring constant agitation before drinking). Not a fan. Trying Stevia liquid drops next... |

It is very much like sugar in taste and form - and offered a terrific way to deal with my preference for sweetened tea and coffee. (Several of my doctors specifically recommended that I do not use Splenda or any other artificial sweetners.)There are some gastrointestinal side effects to Xylitol however.
A product called "Z Sweet" was introduced to me as an alternative to Xylitol ... Z Sweet uses Erythritol mixed with a bit of Stevia (though there is NO licorice aftertaste at all). Erythritol seems to have all the same advantages as Xylitol, but has fewer side effects. The taste is nearly identical - though I prefer the Z Sweet combo. If memory serves, Z Sweet/Erythritol is not dangerous to dogs.
If you find Xylitol useful in your life, as I do, you might want to know about Eryithritol (or Z Sweet) in addition. |

To my astonishment and delight, there's not a hint of bitterness to this highly caffeinated libation. Make no mistake, this is a STRONG cup of joe, but very pleasing to the palate and well worth the price.
For those of you who need the morning perk but like it sweet, try this:
8 oz brewed Lavazza
4 oz very warm milk
2 tablespoons Ghirardelli White Chocolate Mocha
Blend the milk and the white chocolate together FIRST, then pour and blend the mixture into the coffee. This has salvaged more than one otherwise miserable commute for me! |

Using my Victorio's grain mill to grind the wheat into a fine flour has produced some of the best bread we've ever baked, or eaten, hands down. To give it a decent shelf life, and to keep it safe from weevils or grain moths, I've packed it in a 6-gallon food-grade plastic storage bucket with a mylar liner, and a dessicant packet inside. This price is great for organic hard red wheat. We're beginning to experiment with cooking our breads in the Global Sun Oven (also purchased here at Amazon), for those times when the power might not be available in an blackout or an storm-driven outage. Since my grain grinder is a hand-grinding model, power outages won't be a problem in baking daily breads. |

You get totally fresh flour (after you grind it) and if you make bread once a week, 50 pounds of wheat berries will last a year. If this is more wheat berries than you'd like to buy, get the 25 lb. bag instead of this size. (Just be sure you have some secure plastic containers to keep the wheat berries in.) At this price (and with this quality) it's an unbeatable deal!
If you don't yet own a flour grinder, I recommend the KoMo machine made in Germany. It's costly but it comes in a beautiful wood cabinet. And if you eat granola, you can grind your oat groats (the whole grain product) on a daily basis - giving you something both cheaper and tastier than rolled oats (which are very processed).
Great River is an excellent company! They sell already-ground flour too - in addition to the "raw materials" on this page. (But there's nothing like fresh-ground for flavor and nutrition!) I first tried their whole wheat flour and now I just stick with the wheat berries and grind my own.
Thank you, Amazon, for free shipping too! :-) |

When my kids were little I never let baked goods from the store in the house and every night ground flour to bake with but drifted away from that as they got older and flew the nest. After years of buying fairly adequate bread, crackers whatnot at the store I decided to go back to making my own. I bought a Wondermill Jr. hand mill and based on previous reveiws here I ordered this Great River Organic Milling Hard Red Spring Wheat.
The other reviewers were correct this is absolutely fabulous wheat. It has a very high gluten content and makes a very dark flavorful satisfying loaf.
I would especially recommend this to anyone new to bread-making. I don't think you can make a bad load with this some good yeast and a bit of elbow grease. I used the SAF Instant you can order buy the pound just like the big bakeries do. It's just plain good yeast.
The best thing about this wheat is you can make each loaf for less than a dollar =))
Oh...this wheat is not good for pie crusts pastry kind of things...the gluten content is too high and will make anything like that tough. This is to make glorious bread. |
