BulkSucralose Powder, Zero Calorie Sweetener, 100 g

I love this sweetener, it does not contain the fillers and I am surprised how little is needed to make everything sweet in a keto way. Please, use much less than you think you need and try what you want to sweeten because it really needs getting used to it how powerful this is.

After giving up sugar and also going low carb I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to replace sweeteners in my diet. I do not use aspartame or saccharin, but I did want something with a low GI impact, versatility for use both in hot or cold drinks and cooking, but most importantly a believable taste. My experimentation ran the gamut of available potions and powders. Stevia, too false. Erythritol, too minty. And so on. I'm familiar with sucralose from years ago in America, where it is more commonly called Splenda and was happy to find the pure form in the UK. I have hit upon a mix that I make at home and it satisfies both my needs and the taste buds of my partner, who prefers the taste of sugar! Sucralose is incredibly sweet, much sweeter than sugar so to temper it I use equal amount of Xylitol and dissolve into a beaker of piping hot water. This handmade bottle can last me well over a month. A few drops sweeten my tea or chosen beverage, it can add the desired sweetness to my dishes and I happily bake too. Unless I mention it, very few people would know that I haven't had sugar in my house in years, so I'm happy that I've hit on a believable DIY 'sugar' that keeps me sated and healthy too.

It is hard to believe that this is 600 times sweeter than sugar! I love it!

It's a perfectly acceptable sweetener, no bitter taste, and definitely sweeter than sucrose. I'm not sure about 600 times sweeter. I make a smoothie with fruit and veg, which I usually add some spices to for the thermic effect. The spices tend to make the smoothie quite bitter, because I use them in higher volume than you normally would in cooking, so I add the sucralose to balance it out. I add 5g to a serving that works out at 1 litre in total and it's about right, fairly sweet, but not overpoweringly. Based on the 600 times sweeter, it would be the equivalent of me adding 300g of normal granulated sugar and I guarantee it would be a lot sweeter with 300g of sugar in it. Either way, it does the job and for most situations you would use a lot less than 5g at a time, so it works out reasonably economical.

This stuff is brilliant. I have to always remember to use about half of what I think will be enough. It's incredibly sweet and easy to overdo.I get the best results when I use it subtly. If you overdo it, the sugralose 'not sugar' taste becomes more apparent, but in very small doses it tastes more natural. You can also combine with real sugar and with fruit in recipes to good effect.

I have to cut out real sugar from my diet for health reasons and I was advised to try sucralose.I was aware that this would be way more sugary than regular sugar....But I didn't think I wouldn't be able to get rid of the taste in my mouth. First of all I have used the tiny spoon they give you with the packet and it is still way too big for the amount of sugar you would need in a cake. Also, the amount (the tiniest spoon ever) was so much that it made me sick (literally). I have decided to stick to Stevia as it is more manageable than this.

When you consider the fact that sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar, weight for weight, this is really quite cost effective as a sugar-free sweetener. It sweetens very effectively, with no unpleasant aftertaste/ chemical flavour, and has no effect on blood sugar levels or insulin production,in addition to not contributing to dental decay. The pure powder format can be a bit hard to use, as it is so concentrated that you only need a tiny quantity at a time, but you soon get used to this and I feel that it is well worth this hassle to get a pure product (not cut with maltodextrin) at a decent price.

I'm writing this as I drink a cup of coffee using this powder.I am delighted with this alternative to sugar.I used the tiniest amount which sweetened my coffee perfectly. I honestly barely used any.There is no bitter aftertaste and it tastes just like the real thing.I will definitely buy again but this pack will last me a VERY long time.
