Jody Godfrey: Xylitol offers some sweet benefits
If you are interested in trying xylitol powder for cooking, I’ve located a very good source online, and they seemed to have the best prices.
As with all healthier options, for some reason (and hopefully one day this will change drastically), it is always more expensive. The name of the company is Vita Net and their toll-free number is (800) 877-8702. You could also visit your local health food markets — if they don’t carry xylitol products, I’ll bet they would order them for you.
It would be wise to start slow with xylitol as there have been complaints from a small percentage of takers that diarrhea occurred. Remember, not everything bothers everyone, but some things do bother some folks. Start conservatively and work up to regular amounts.
With the holidays nearing, here is a “mostly” sugar-free pecan pie recipe.
Almost sugar-free pecan pie
3 large free-range eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons melted butter (not margarine)
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup of erythritol (xylitol kicked up a notch)
2 tablespoons sprout spelt flour
1/4 teaspoon stevia powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Mix the first five ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mix remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the moist ingredients.
Stir all together and pour into an unbaked store-bought pie crust (this is much quicker!). Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 45 minutes more. (The baking could be a few minutes longer or shorter depending upon your oven type). The pie will swell slightly before it is done. Allow to cool one hour prior to cutting.
