I want to make some smoked breakfast sausage that calls for powdered dextrose. I cannot find any of this local and don't want to order it unless absolutely necessary. Can anyone tell me of a viable substitute for powdered dextrose for sausage making?
 
Thanks for the quick help. We don't have a brewing supply store here but we do lhave a health food shop. I will check this first. Again, thanks.

Someone jump in and correct me if I'm wrong,

Isnt dextrose just finely powdered white sigar and you could "blenderise it" 
 
Dextrose (same as glucose) is essentially the same as sucrose (table sugar) calorically, but not as sweet (70% as sweet as sucrose).

That's important to remember if you're planning on substituting table sugar for dextrose in a recipe.

Be careful if you are assuming you can substitute other sugars for Dextrose.  I understand it is the prefered ingredient/ food source for bacteria in fermented sausages.  If the recipe calls for Dextrose I would use Dextrose.
