Liquid Splenda
 
I haven't seen this anywhere in the stores. But if anyone living in Virginia could give me a suggestion I would appreciate it.
I plan on making a Cheesecake for easter and it seems that ones made with liquid splenda have fewer carbs than with powdered splenda

Thanks....

I wish I could find it too!

I emailed them at Splenda... Let you know if they answer

I believe that in the U.S., liquid Splenda is sold only to manufacturers. It is not available to the public. I could be wrong about this, and I hope I am, but I remember hearing that somewhere.

Maybe someone will e-mail you back a direct answer.

Apparently they stopped selling it here. I did a search and found a petition to bring it back on the market. Please go to the site if interested. There is also info on carb counts with the different forms of splenda.

I signed it, for whatever good it will do!

You can buy splenda syrup base on the Internet. Its grotesquely expensive though. I saw it for $32 for 8 ounces.

Ouch! I think for that price I will make do with the regular Splenda.

The reason that the powdered splenda has carbs is because of the bulking agent used, maltodaxtrin. In syrup form, there are a fraction of the carbs. Try using DaVinci sf syrup instead of liquid splenda. The vanilla or french vanilla blends into most recipes or use a falvor that would add to your finished product.

This should be a major sticky for awhile. Imagine how many we can get to sign this!! Great idea!!!

After finding a good outlet for the SF syrups, I don't use the powdered at all, saves the carbs for something with some substance ;)

I swear I saw it at either Safeway or Giant, I go to both all the time. I remember seeing it and doing a double take. it was a in a bottle and I believe it said liquid form. I tend to think it was the safeway in Springfield/Burke Virginia on Old Keene Mill Road. I'll try and go by there today or tomorrow and confirm.

Maybe there is another form of Liquid sweetner? I use SF syrups, but I just figured a regular liquid Sugar sunstitute would be nice

MyJourney Tue, Apr-06-04 06:26

there is liquid sweet and low. I know I saw a website I think around the cooking forums that showed something about concentrated liquid splenda, but the cost was insane.

Fridaylove Tue, Apr-06-04 06:28

Perhaps I will use my vanilla davincis...
Thanks for all the replies, I am glad to know that others have a hard time finding things.
The liquid splenda seems to be such a better idea than the powdered.
When you make certain dishes there are already enough carbs in them...
like a cheese cake :-)
