Emerald Forest of Colorado has the BEST Quality and Service by Honest Reader (Denver, CO USA)  5 Stars
July 29, 2009
I have personally been to the Emerald Forest plant in Broomfield, Colorado and watched how they produce, handle and package xylitol. It is absolutely clean! The staff love their work and are warm and friendly. Doug Stauffer started Emerald Forest with the goal to help make this wonderful product affordable to the common person. Their products are the best and shipping is very, very fast! I love their gum!

Disappointed by S. Charmian  1 Stars
May 26, 2009
I bought a small bag of this brand from a local health co-op and really liked it, and it tasted like sugar to me. So I was excited to get this same brand in bulk at a much lower price online. What a disappointment to find it did not taste the same as the bag I purchased at the store. The Emerald Forest product I received online has a strong aftertaste that stays in my mouth long after drinking my tea. I don't know if this company sells an inferior quality in their bulk packages, but I don't like it. I am going back to Stevia, which I find more palatable and without aftertaste.

Sweetener with no aftertaste by Timo (MN) 5 Stars
May 24, 2009
This sweetener was purchased for use while on a sugar free diet. I found it to be as claimed in the descriptions: a direct substitute for white sugar with similar potency.
I find that it just tastes sweet without any other flavor of its own. That said, it does have kind of a "cool" taste on the tongue, but I didn't find that to be a detractor, and neither did the many people that I have let try it.
I use it in tea, but not coffee. Having recently reverted to cane sugar, I realized I preferred the xylitol because it leaves no aftertaste, nor does it add other flavors to the tea.
By comparison, I cannot tolerate other sugar substitutes since they taste terrible to me, although I have not tried stevia.

Better than Organic Zero, not as good as Splenda by Susan Cromby  3 Stars
March 12, 2009
I'm still looking out for a decent replacement for Splenda since I can't buy it in the large packages from Amazon anymore. I was hoping this stuff would do the trick, but I don't like the aftertaste. It leaves a chemical-like taste that I don't like and can't seem to get used to. It tastes very similar to the Organic Zero, but isn't quite as nasty. It has the consistency of sugar and 40% of the calories, so I guess, if you could get used to the flavor, it would be OK. I drink it in tea and I figure if it changes the taste of the beverage, then it isn't doing it's job. I just want my cup sweetened not altered to the point where I feel like I'm drinking something else. It tastes highly artificial. I'd rather use saccharine than this.

OK, but not as good as Splenda or stevia by Beach Campguy (Philly, PA) 3 Stars
January 16, 2009
I use this in coffee and tea. It's reasonably sweet, but seems
to lack the "potency" of Splenda or regular sugar. I also can't
help feeling like I have Dentyne gum taste in my coffee. Went back
to using stevia in my chai because I like the "bite".
For the price and size it's still a very good value. Free shipping
makes the value even better.

| Now Foods Xylitol, 2.5 pound bag
by NOW
A healthy alternative to conventional table sugar thats much lower in carbohydrates. This sugar alcohol is derived from corn, is approximately the same sweetness as sugar, and has a much lower glycemic rating. As a result, it metabolizes slower in the body and helps support healthy blood/glucose levels already within the normal range. Extensive clinical studies continue to demonstrate that Xylitol is safe for both adults and children.
