Description
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is naturally found in certain fruits like grapes, melons, and pears but is commonly produced from corn or wheat starch for commercial use. Erythritol has approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) but only 5% of the calories, making it a popular choice for those reducing sugar intake or following low-calorie diets.
Highlights
- Low in Calories: Erythritol provides almost no calories, typically around 0.24 calories per gram, compared to the 4 calories per gram in regular sugar.
- Blood Sugar Friendly: Erythritol does not cause spikes in blood sugar or insulin levels, making it a suitable option for people with diabetes or those managing their blood sugar.
- Tooth-Friendly: Unlike sugar, erythritol does not contribute to tooth decay or cavities.
- Natural Taste: Erythritol offers a clean, sweet taste with minimal aftertaste, unlike some other sugar substitutes like stevia or monk fruit.

Special Notes
- Erythritol has a glycemic index of 0, meaning it does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels, making it safe for people with diabetes or anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake.
- Erythritol is often used in combination with other sweeteners (like stevia or monk fruit) to improve the taste and balance the sweetness, as it is not as sweet as table sugar. This combination can also help reduce any aftertaste that some sweeteners may have.
- Erythritol can withstand high temperatures, so it is suitable for use in cooking and baking without losing its sweetness, unlike some other sweeteners that break down under heat.
