Erythritol is 70% as sweet as table sugar, so you can use it as a cup for cup (1:1) replacement for sugar in recipes. The result will be slightly less sweet than sugar. Use a little more if more sweetness is desired. What Is Erythritol? Erythritol is naturally occurring in nature, found in small amounts in foods like grapes, melons and mushrooms, and in fermented foods such as wine, cheese and soy sauce. How Is It Made? Usually made from the naturally occurring sugars in plants, that sugar is mixed with water and then fermented with a natural culture. This natural fermentation process yields erythritol, which is then filtered, allowed to crystallize and then dried. The result is a granular form that looks very similar to table sugar and is ready to use as a table top sweetener. Why Use Erythritol? It has almost no calories. In the US it is labeled as having 0.2 calories per gram, which is 95% fewer calories than sugar. Erythritol has not been found to affect blood sugar or insulin levels and has a zero glycemic index, making it perfect for diabetics or those on a low carb dietary program.
