Has anyone used "Fasweet?"

2BabesMama · 03-05-2004, 07:51 AM

I saw it in Walmart yesterday. It's a liquid sweetener--I think made from saccharin--said 0 carbs.

I'm wondering if it would be good to bake with. And if it has that icky saccharin taste. That's like sweet 'n low right? I never liked that stuff.

TIA.

I saw this tonight and was wondering the same thing. Says it can be used for baking so....was really wondering about the taste.

Can anyone offer their opinion?

I have used saccharin syrup in some of my old recipes. The cookbook authors used them to bring down the carb count before we had any other options. Like stevia, I find it is too bitter to use alone. It is ok mixed with other sweeteners. It seems to be heat stable.I make a bread pudding from a cookbook that uses a mxture of saccharin and it came out great.

I have Fasweet and use it every once in a while to put in coffee or yogurt--usually to mix with my other sweeteners. I got it because it was something I could find in my grocery store and didn't have to special order it. It works OK for the few things I am using it for, but have never tried to bake with it.

Pretty much all liquid saccharines are the same taste. If you like one you'll like them all -and vice versa.
