Xylitol packets

[Kylie 1]

I am looking to make some of Doug's recipes using Xylitol, but I only have the packets and the recipes call for 1/2 cup etc. Does anyone know how to convert packets to cups?

Hi Kylie  Welcome to the forum  

I hate to say it but I don't believe the packets are a stronger strength than the xylitol you get in bulk.  Since each packet holds 1 tsp you will need
48 to make 1 cup
24 to make 1/2 cup
12 to make 1/4 cup....etc

You should try Zero ,no tummy issues. Xylitol is really good for your teeth though.You can use your packets for drinks

Welcome to the FTS family, Kylie!!!

If you use FTS zero, you'll need a conversion chart... So here you are;

I LOVE FTS ZERO!!!
It's made with sucralose which is the essence of cane sugar.
It tastes EXACTLY like sugar without the carbs or digestive side effects of most sweeteners.

The only time I use xylitol anymore is if I want to add a "sugar crystal crunch" to what I'm making, or some added bulk.
I find it to be sweeter than sugar. So it takes less.

I bought a 15 pound bag at vitaminlife.com back in November 2011 and still have most of it!
That's not a problem, as xylitol has a VERY VERY long shelf life if you keep it dry.
