Introducing our certified organic xylitol powder—a plant-based sugar alcohol derived from non-GMO, sustainably sourced organic corn cobs or birch wood. With a sweetness profile nearly identical to sucrose and 40% fewer calories, xylitol delivers clean, refreshing sweetness without spiking blood sugar or feeding harmful oral bacteria.
Widely recognized for its dental health benefits and compatibility with low-carb, keto, and diabetic diets, our organic xylitol meets the highest global standards for purity, safety, and sustainability.
What Is Organic Xylitol?
Xylitol (C₅H₁₂O₅) is a five-carbon sugar alcohol naturally found in small amounts in fruits and vegetables. Our organic xylitol powder is produced through a controlled hydrogenation process from certified organic xylan-rich biomass, followed by rigorous purification to ensure food-grade quality.
Unlike artificial sweeteners, xylitol has no aftertaste and performs exceptionally well in baking, beverages, and confectionery. It is non-cariogenic (does not cause tooth decay) and has a glycemic index of just 7–12, compared to 65 for table sugar.
Key Benefits

FAQs
Q: What are the primary sources of your Organic Xylitol?
A: Our Organic Xylitol is primarily sourced from organic birch wood or organic non-GMO corn cobs, both recognized as high-quality, sustainable sources for xylitol production.
Q: How does Organic Xylitol benefit dental health?
A: Organic Xylitol cannot be metabolized by Streptococcus mutans, the primary bacteria responsible for tooth decay. This reduces acid production in the mouth, inhibits bacterial growth, and encourages the remineralization of tooth enamel, leading to fewer cavities and stronger teeth.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Xylitol typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It should be kept well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
Q: Is Organic Xylitol safe for all consumers, including those with diabetes?
A: Yes, Organic Xylitol is generally recognized as safe for human consumption. Its low glycemic index makes it a suitable sugar substitute for individuals with diabetes, as it does not cause rapid spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels. However, as with any dietary change, individual dietary advice should always be followed.
Q: Can Organic Xylitol be used as a 1:1 replacement for sugar in recipes?
A: In terms of sweetness, Organic Xylitol is very close to a 1:1 replacement for sugar. In terms of bulk and texture, it also performs very similarly to sugar in many applications. However, in large quantities, it can have a mild laxative effect. For baking, some adjustments might be needed depending on the recipe, as it does not caramelize or brown in the same way as sucrose.
