Tesco Granulated Sweetener

Tesco Granulated Sweetener is a great way to get a bit of sweetness without the calories and without the aftertaste of some other sweeteners. This granulated sweetener is packaged in a jar with a red label and lid and is available from Tesco in a 70g size costing 72p or a 35g size costing 42p with the main ingredients being Maltodextrin and Aspartame. Each teaspoonful gives the equivalent sweetness as 1 teaspoonful of sugar but only 2 calories, whereas 1 teaspoonful of sugar supplies us with 15 calories. I found this sweetener to be similar in texture to castor sugar, having much smaller granules than granulated sugar. It has a slightly more ...  Read the complete review

Review of Tesco Granulated Sweetener I am reviewing the 75g size of Tesco's Granulated Sweetener, a sugar substitute with aspartame, designed to replace ordinary sugar in drinks, cooking and daily uses. The target market for this product is that of people who are watching their weight/calorie intake. ==The Product, packaging and uses== A powdered sugar substitute which is presented in a tall glass jar with a red screw top lid.

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
