Birch sugar
Birch sugar is another name for xylitol, a sugar alcohol traditionally derived from birch bark, used as a low-calorie sugar substitute. It has a sweetness close to that of table sugar but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic impact. It is used in baking and confectionery, though it behaves somewhat differently from sugar in terms of browning and moisture retention.
