Canderel Sweetener

...that little bit faster. Enter Canderel Spoonful. Canderel is an artifical sweetner, it is available in two varieties, the 'ever so revolting' tablet form or the 'less revolting but still not nice' spoonful variety. The latter is what I have been using this week. You will find Canderel next to the sugar in your local supermarket, it costs a staggering £1.68 for a 40g jar. 40g sounds like a small amount but the jar is roughly the same size as an ...
...say the least. The Canderel itself is a fine white powder, the granules (if you can call them that) are microscopic compared to sugar granules, they also weigh nothing, which is an odd feeling when you use your first spoonful. You are supposed to use the same amount as you would sugar, but I find that a little too sweet, I have swapped my normal two sugars for one and a half of this mixture. So what does it taste like? Well it tastes sweet and ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

...So when I saw Canderel boasting slogans like "tastes like sugar" all over their product I decided to give it a go. As it was I had decided to go on a diet (finally) so what better way to start. So off I went and picked up a bottle of the Canderel powder and a dispenser of Canderel tablets. These are totally sugar free, whilst providing you the equivalent sweetner in a artificial way. What I can tell you is that this product has mixed results. If ...
...the sweetner is less pronounced, Canderel will taste just fine. This will be the case in cereals, desserts, puddings and the likes. However in the case of drinks like tea, coffee where the sweetner forms a major basis of the drink, the taste of Canderel will be quite evident. Since my need for using Canderel was solely to reduce weight that is why I find my tolerance levels are very limited. However if a person suffering from diabetes were using ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

...SO WHAT IS CANDEREL ? Canderel make little tiny pill like white pellets which are dispensed from a very attractive dispenser. Here in France, the dispensers are actually becoming a fashionable item to collect and my latest has a picture of a British telephone box on it, which leads me to believe that they must have similar dispensers in the U.K. This product is purported to be one of the most widely tested sweeteners on the market and is made up ...
...This is a zero fat product and the nutritional values compare very convincingly with the equivalent in sugar, i.e. one pill is the equivalent of one spoon of sugar and its calorific content is negligable at 0.29KCals. HOW DO YOU USE IT ? the simplicity of use of this product is ideal. The dispensers that are made these days are small and rectangular and can easily be carried in a handbag. To use, you hold the dispenser over your cup, press once ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

~~~~~ Canderel ~~~~~ I drink quite a few cups of tea and coffee a day and I always used to have one sugar. Being conscious of my weight as well as the condition of my teeth I decided that it wasn't really doing me any good by consuming so much sugar through cups of tea and coffee! I tried drinking hot drinks without sugar but abandoned that idea after a while because it made them taste foul! Just over a month ago I was browsing the shelves of Tesco ...
...to try some Canderel. Canderel can be brought in a jar in the form of a powder which you use in the same way you would use ordinary sugar, or it is available in little dispensers where you press a button and out comes a circular canderel tablet. Seeing as I only really use sugar in drinks, I decided that the dispenser was the easiest option. It was merely a coincidence that at the time they had small limited edition dispensers which looked really ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

Canderel is an artifical sweetener which is used in place of sugar for people who are diabetic, have sugar intolerance, or simply wish to cut down on their sugar intake. There have been many health claims about Aspartme –the sweetening agent found in sweeteners such as canderel. Claims such as the said ingredient given cause to headaches and brain tumours are probably the most worrying. It was even mentioned in ‘Balance’ – ...
...My next sample was canderel that uses the sweetener Aspartme. I decided canderel wasn’t too bad, in fact it was quite similar in taste to sugar, and the more I used it, the more I liked it. So that’s how I become a user of this wonderful product. Aspartme the basis of canderel comes from everyday items such as: Milk, Meat, Fruit and vegetables. Canderel is an intense sweetener and roughly translated 1 small tablet is equal to 1 teaspoon ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

Canderel Spoonful is basically a sugar substitute. Purchased in 40g jars for approximately £1.29, it's labelled as a 'Low Calorie Sweetner with Aspartame'. The product comes packaged in a glass jar with a red plastic lid, which you can either remove completely to get the sweetner out, or you can flip up part of the top of the lid to reveal a pouring hole. The sweetner itself does resemble sugar, though it is much more 'fluffy' looking. As opposed ...
...is rather more pleasant. Canderel is suitable for sprinkling on your cereals, or on fruit, and can be used in hot drinks such as tea or coffee. Eaten on cereals the taste is very similar to that of sugar, although you may miss that satisfying crunch that you get by smothering your cereals in a nice thick coating of the real thing! I don't tend to drink hot drinks, however I'm assured by most people that it tastes like normal sugar when used in tea ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

I first tried Canderel when we bought some in because my brother wanted to use that instead of sugar in his tea and coffee. I was drawn in by the adverts that claimed it tasted just like sugar and decided that if it did really taste like sugar and was healthier then that would be the better option, especially considering the amount of sugar I have throughout the day in my tea! ~*~ Packaging ~*~ We buy canderel in bulk as there are a lot of people ...
...look like? ~*~ The Canderel in the jar is different to the type in the dispensers in that it's a very fine white powder. I was surprised when I first opened it as I expected granules (maybe im just too used to sugar!) but the powder works well and its very easy to weigh out accurate measurements because its so fine. ~*~ How much do you use? ~*~ The pack claims that one teaspoon of sugar is equal to one teaspoon of Canderel and from my own experience ...

...My mum has used for canderel for years now, it’s a substitute for sugar, and a good one of that Instead of using the normal sugar diabetics are recommended to use very little or none. Canderel is a brilliant alternative as it can be used as good alternative when using sugar for tea etc. It can be used by anyone over a certain age, and it is normal for us all to use the product. There is nothing like being careful. The reason why Canderel ...
...which means it does not affect the blood sugar levels which is perfect for sufferers of diabetes who need to control their blood levels. This also benefits those wishing to lose weight, because it means you can still have sweeteners but it has hardly any calories. Research from diet experts and doctors backs this up, and that is why if you go to your GP they will recommend you this product. It’s a good product if you just want a healthy lifestyle, ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

Two years ago I found out and I was diabetic and as such was forced into the world of sweeteners to cut down and control my sugar intake. I have tried many but this is the brand I now use most. At first I tried drinking tea and coffee without sugar but found especially with the coffee that the taste was just to bitter so was forced to looking at the sweeteners availiabel on the market. Compared to suger I am dissapointed at the prices which are ...
...variaties(usually made of sacharrin ) which has a nasty and barely acceptable after taste. So I tried some of the others with cost in mind Candarel was the next cheepest and has by far a better taste, no nast under taste that makes the bottom of the cup taste ugh. Such is the taste that I use it sweeten cereals and in cooking desserts, this allows me within reason to at least quieten my sweet tooth. Candarel is availiable in granulated and tablet ...

Review of Canderel Sweetener

Canderel is basically used in place of sugar, wherever you may use it. The most common are in tea, coffee and breakfast cereal. It has almost the exact same taste as sugar, just a slight difference which wouldn't really affect anyone. So why use canderel instead of sugar? Well there's one simple reason, it has the same sweetening affect but at only a fraction of the calories. It uses Aspartame sweetening instead of sugar, and is unsuitable for those ...
...a must for diabetics. Many doctors swear to canderel for their diabetic patients (please consult a doctor first, though.) Overall, it can be used by anyone, wether your trying to slim down or diabetic, or just want it. It is available in tablet or powdered form, both very effective. ...

...to use as many! The canderel powder though is not as useful for drinks as it has a horrible habit of fizzing to the top so all you get is a mouthful of sweetner! I have, however, cooked with it in fruit pies and fruit stews with great success. You can tell it's not sugar in the ood , but it is not overtly chemically.I have not tried baking with it yet. It has a far nicer taste than saccharin, which I really don't like at all. There is no chemical ...

...and Quaker Oats need sweetening! Canderel is great for diabetics as it doesn't affect blood sugar levels at all. It also tastes way better than any other sweetener as it doesn't have a bitter aftertaste. Its a close to sugar as you will get, and you even get a funky red jar and pourer too. Cooking with it is also fine, it gives food a good flavour and on their website (www.canderel.uk.com) they are even kind enough to give out recipe ideas and ...
