Xylitol birch sugar (E967) | fine | 0.1 mm

What is it about / Product description

Xylitol birch sugar is a fine-grained, white sugar substitute from European, predominantly Finnish production. The sweetener is obtained from hardwood from birch and beech and is similar to classic granulated sugar in appearance, dosage and handling. Due to the very fine grain size of around 0.1 mm, the sugar alcohol (E967) dissolves quickly and evenly in liquids and doughs.

The birch sugar offered by Biova is produced in a technically complex purification process and stands for consistently high, food-grade quality. It has a slightly lower sweetening power than conventional household sugar and only slightly affects blood sugar levels. This makes xylitol an interesting option for reduced-sugar recipes and for anyone who wants to consciously control their sugar consumption.

In the kitchen, xylitol birch sugar can be used almost one-to-one like granulated sugar – for baking, for sweetening hot and cold drinks or for desserts. The fine, flaky structure distributes evenly in doughs, creams and fillings and is ideal for bulk consumers, gastronomy and stockpiling. This allows you to flexibly adapt your usual recipes with this sugar alternative from Biova.

Origin

The birch sugar offered comes from Finland, a country with long, cold winters and a well-developed, sustainable forestry industry. Mainly birch and beech wood from controlled European forests is processed. Short transport routes within Europe and transparent supply chains support consistently high quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

For production, hardwood is shredded and treated with water to dissolve the wood sugar xylose. In a multi-stage purification and filtration process, xylitol is obtained from this and foreign substances are carefully removed. The result is a fine, flaky crystal with a uniform grain size of approximately 0.1 mm, which is filled as easy-to-dose bulk goods.

Special features

In specialist literature, xylitol is described as cariostatic and anticariogenic and is therefore often used in sugar-free dental care products. Biova birch sugar uses wood that is not suitable for paper production, which means the resource is used efficiently. No trees are felled exclusively for xylitol production.

Differences in origin and processing

Compared to xylitol from non-European sources, Finnish production offers high quality standards and clearly defined raw materials. Extraction from birch and beech hardwood differs from variants made from corn or other plant-based raw materials. This enables clear labelling as birch sugar and consistent product quality within the Biova range.

Taste & smell

Xylitol birch sugar has a mild, clear sweetness with slightly less sweetening power than classic household sugar. Typical for sugar alcohols, a pleasantly cooling effect develops in the mouth without a dominant intrinsic taste. The smell is neutral, which makes the product particularly suitable for fine baked goods, desserts and drinks.
