What is Erythritol?
Erythritol is a naturally occurring sweet substance found in vegetables, fruits, which is obtained in large quantities during the cultivation of plants by fermentation, purified and crystallized to become usable for sweetening in a way similar to sugar.
However, their features differ:
- Glycemic index: 0
- Practically calorie-free (only 20kcal/100g);
- It does not raise either blood sugar levels or insulin levels;
- Unlike other sweeteners, it has no aftertaste and does not cause diarrhea
- Helps prevent tooth decay and plaque buildup;
- The foods made with it are less prone to spoiling because it does not provide a food source for fungi and bacteria;
- Diabetics, dieters, and those battling candida can also use it abundantly
- It is also suitable for baking, as it does not lose its sweet taste and does not become bitter at high temperatures.
