Erythritol is also called erythritol and is a virtually calorie-free, natural and tooth-friendly low-carb & keto sugar substitute. The sweetening power corresponds to about 70% of the sweetening power of sugar. It is absolutely blood sugar neutral and therefore ideal for diabetics, ketarians and low-carbers. Erythritol is the only one of the sugar alcohols or “polyols” that is 100% not utilized by the body. In other words, it has no calories, no usable carbohydrates, and no effect on blood sugar. The special thing about our eryhtrite Gold is that it has a mildly sweet, caramel-like taste that is very similar to brown sugar. Unfortunately, erythritol cannot be caramelized or used for candies, which is why erythritol Gold is excellent for getting a delicious caramel taste and is sugar-free! Great for sweetening hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, sugar-free cocktails, baking and cooking.
