Birch sugar - Xylitol - Instead of sugar

Birkenzucker - Xylit - Statt Zucker

It would be great if birch sugar and products containing birch sugar (chocolate, chewing gum, sweets, toothpaste, etc.) could finally be available at a reasonable price somewhere in Switzerland. Couldn't Migros set a good example and include these products in its range? Or does our sugar lobby have a hand in this? The prices online are also totally exaggerated at around 20 per kilo. And it would be better to use xylitol instead of aspartame anyway.
I hope there are more people here who share my opinion.

Hello Zäme

I think it would be great if the alternative sugars were included.

I use Xucker's erythritol or xylitol for baking in particular, as it has the same volume as normal sugar, but is lower in calories.

Hello@schneebaer47

The latest information I have is that Migros is not yet planning to introduce xylitol.

However, I have now asked again and will get back to you as soon as I receive feedback from those responsible for the product range.

Kind regards
Tanja

Hello Tanja

And if efforts are already being made in this direction, you could also start a xylitol line. Chewing gum, sweets and toothpastes are typical here. And I've always ordered birch sugar in cube form for the office from Germany.

Did anyone watch "Die Höhle der Löwen" on VOX yesterday? They presented a lozenge with xylitol that is supposed to prevent tooth decay (xylitol cannot be metabolized by the bacteria that cause tooth decay and therefore no acid is produced). I didn't know about this effect before. But it sounds interesting.

That's why it is being used more and more often in toothpastes ;)
There is a lot of information about xylitol here: https://www.zentrum-der-gesundheit.de/xylitol-ia.html
But sweets and Tictacs (Xylitos) have actually been around for a long time - you can get them in health food stores or pharmacies in Switzerland.
And apparently some people swear by not using toothpaste at all and brushing their teeth with a teaspoon of birch sugar instead. But I haven't tried that myself yet.

Chewing gum or sweets with xylitol are available at Lidl, but I have never tried them. Xylitol itself is certainly an alternative, although not for everyone. I have used xylitol on its own and for baking, but then switched back to more common types of sugar for everyday use because I don't tolerate it so well. My experiments with mixing xylitol with other sugars are still in their infancy, and baking experiments are more of a winter hobby.
