Being diabetic I am obviously unable to have sugar in things like tea and coffee or on my cereal and therefore had to try an alternative. For years I brought the more expensive brand Canderelle, however I have since discovered that Tesco do their own brand of sweetener, so I thought I would give it a go. I was a bit concerned to start with that a cheaper brand would be no where near as good as the more expensive brands, however since trying Tesco own brand of sweetener it is the only one I ever buy now, I found that there was no difference between the 2 only that Tesco brand was much cheaper!!!!!!! The packaging Tesco Granulated Sweetener comes ...  Read the complete review

I don't really use much sugar as I don't like tea or coffee and don't tend to add it to foods but I do find that sweetener is quite handy to have as it is extremely versatile and I am happier to add this to foods where I wouldn't have bothered with sugar. Tesco granulated sweetener is 97p for 75g. I know 75g doesn't sound much but it is a large (18cm high and 8.5cm diameter) jar and will last a very long time. The sweetener can be used in drinks and foods, sprinkled on to cereals or used in baking. When using in baking be aware that the sweetener is ideal for temperatures up to 180c. It can still be used for higher temperatures but will be less ...  Read the complete review

I may well be a chocoholic and eat endless cakes and biscuits but when it comes to my tea and coffee I prefer to use sweeteners. So having used sweetener in hot drinks I thought that I would try and use it on my porridge and in some of my puddings as an experiment. Tesco sweetener worked out at 97p for a 70g jar and I thought that I would give it a trial run. Tesco say that each teaspoon of sweetener contains just 2 calories and is the equivalent of one teaspoon of normal sugar. They recommend it for use on breakfast cereals, in tea, coffee and other hot drinks and also say that it can be used in baking. The granulated sweetener comes in a ...  Read the complete review

I have quite a sweet tooth and as such used to take sugar in my hot drinks and on cereal, I realised just how much sugar I was using and knowing that it wasn't good for me I decided to change to sweetener instead. I have used many of the powdered sweeteners and have found that the supermarkets versions are just as good as the branded products such as Canderel and of course they tend to cost less too. I bought a jar of this last week and the price has recently been reduced from £1.18 to £1, a jar gives you 75g of the product. The product comes in a see through plastic container with a screw top red lid, the lid can be opened by twisting off which ...  Read the complete review
