What is Erythritol?
Erythritol is a naturally occurring sweet-tasting substance found in vegetables and fruits, which is produced in large quantities through the fermentation of plants, purified and crystallized to become usable for sweetening in a way that is similar to sugar.
However, their characteristics differ:
- Glycemic index: 0
- Practically calorie-free (only 20kcal/100g);
- It does not raise either blood sugar levels or insulin levels;
- Compared to other sweeteners, it has no aftertaste and does not cause diarrhea
- Helps prevent tooth decay and tartar formation.
- Dishes made with it spoil more slowly because it does not provide a nutrient base for mushrooms and bacteria.
- People with diabetes, those on a diet, and individuals struggling with candida can all use it abundantly.
- It can also be used for baking, as it does not lose its sweet taste and does not become bitter at high temperatures.
