Kopytowa Mill Erythritol Natural Low Calorie Sugar Substitute 1kg
- It is a sweetener that is distinguished by its low energy value, which is why it is a commonly chosen alternative to white sugar. It is distinguished by its sweet aftertaste, which perfectly imitates traditional sugar.
Erythritol is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste. It is a natural sugar substitute that comes from plants such as fruits, vegetables and mushrooms. Consuming erythritol does not raise blood glucose levels, so it does not cause sugar spikes.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as table sugar (sucrose), but unlike classic sugar, it has practically no calories (1 g of erythritol provides about 0.2 kcal).
Erythritol remains almost entirely unchanged in the digestive system and is then absorbed from the bloodstream into the small intestine. Only about 10% of erythritol is not absorbed and is available for fermentation in the colon. Consumed in moderate amounts, the sweetener does not cause digestive disorders such as flatulence, indigestion or diarrhea.
- It has a smaller effect on the development of tooth decay
- It has a low glycemic index, so it does not cause a rapid increase in blood glucose levels
How to use:
Erythritol can be used like traditional sugar, from coffee and tea to cakes and desserts. It can be added to smoothies, yoghurts, puddings, jams and sauces to obtain a sweet taste, without additional calories. Its sweetness is equivalent to 60-70% of the sweetness of sucrose.
