Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found in small amounts in fruits (e.g. grapes, melon) that is fermented from glucose. It contains no calories and does not raise blood sugar levels.
Benefits of erythritol:
Low calorie: only 0.2 kcal per gram (compared to 4 kcal for sugar).
Does not raise glucose or insulin - safe for diabetics.
Does not cause tooth decay - unlike sugar, it does not feed oral bacteria.
Well tolerated - less risk of bloating than other sugar alcohols (e.g. xylitol).
How to use:
Baking and desserts: replaces sugar in a 1:1 ratio, but may give a slight ‘cooling’ effect.
Beverages: great in tea, coffee, lemonades.
Low-carb recipes: ideal for keto and LCHF diets.
Preserves, jams: can be used, but the consistency will be slightly different than with sugar.
Tips:
Combine with other sweeteners (such as stevia) to soften the cooling effect.
Do not give to children under 3 in large quantities - as with any sugar alcohols.
