While this product was not specifically developed for cooking and baking, sucralose, the sweetening ingredient in all SPLENDA® Sweetener Products retains its sweetness in high temperatures.

Splenda Essentials No Calorie Sweetener with Fiber, 80-Count Packages (Pack of 4) Reviews
| 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Excellent Taste (from a long-time Splenda user), By This review is from: Splenda Essentials No Calorie Sweetener with Fiber, 80-Count Packages (Pack of 4) (Grocery) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) This review is provided in the context of Splenda use in my coffee and not as a sugar substitue in baking.I have to say I first thought the fiber angle was a gimmick. While there is no doubt more fiber in your diet is good for you, do we really need it in a sweetner? Well, I guess I will take it where I can get it, provided it is cost effective and does not alter the taste of my coffee from what I have become accustomed to with original Splenda. This product does an excellent job in that regard. While we all interpret taste somewhat differently, I found Splenda with fiber to be an excellent substitute to Splenda without fiber in regard to taste. In fact, I believe it taste better than the original, more akin to raw cane sugar in your coffee, which I like but you may not. So, in short, I can increase my fiber intake while making my coffee taste better. The "sweetness ratio" is about the same- packet for packet. So, if you are using 3 packets of original...

I have used Splenda sweetener for years. It is, I think, superior in taste. I use the granuals for cereal and the powdered packets such as the Essentials for coffee everyday. The thing I love best about this product is that it not only tastes good, but now it includes something that is good for you. This particular version contains a gram of fiber. Hey, nothing wrong with getting a little extra fiber in your diet. The other thing that I like about this product, and it may sound kind of insignificant, which, I suppose it is, is that the packets are strong and flat. Unlike some other sweetener packets which are in tissue-thin paper, these seem much thicker. So what? Well, this allows the packets to be stacked in a dispenser much nicer and evenly. Plus, I'm certain that it helps keep the product fresher longer. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful Women 21-25, Men 30-38 grams!, By Ed (Surprise, AZ United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Splenda Essentials No Calorie Sweetener with Fiber, 80-Count Packages (Pack of 4) (Grocery) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program ( What's this?) That is the recommendation of the Mayo Clinic for the daily intake of fiber. Sometimes the food with lots of fiber just is not to our liking. High fiber food like split peas have 16.3 grams in a one cup serving, while food like a carrot have only 1.7 grams. I have noticed that some bread has 0 grams. The Dr. recommended I increase my fiber intake after my last colonoscopy. So, I have been trying to be more aware of what I eat and make sure I come close to what I should get. Splenda has been in our house for a long time as pre-diabetic conditions exist. We use Splenda on cereal, in ice tea, coffee etc. When you consider that each little pack contains one gram of fiber, well, you can see how it can add up on the daily total. Like most other reviewers we were concerned if the taste of the Splenda would be effected---it is not! Always have some concerns when trying something new. Quite pleased with this product, especially with the extra kick of more fiber. |
