Description
NOW Real Foods Erythritol is a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol that provides the sweetness of sugar with virtually zero calories and minimal impact on blood glucose levels. This crystalline sweetener contains approximately 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar, making it an excellent substitute for baking, cooking, and beverage sweetening. Derived through natural fermentation processes, erythritol offers a clean, sugar-like taste without the bitter aftertaste associated with many artificial sweeteners. Unlike other sugar alcohols, erythritol is well-tolerated by most people and rarely causes digestive upset when consumed in normal amounts. This 2.5-pound package provides exceptional value for households seeking to reduce sugar intake while maintaining sweetness in their favorite recipes. NOW Real Foods ensures purity through rigorous testing and quality control measures. Ideal for diabetics, those following ketogenic or low-carb diets, and anyone looking to reduce caloric intake without sacrificing taste. The granular texture dissolves easily and measures cup-for-cup like sugar in most applications, making recipe conversion simple and convenient.
Suggested Use
Substitute for sugar in a 1.3:1 ratio (use slightly more erythritol than sugar called for in recipes). Dissolves easily in both hot and cold beverages. Works well in baking, though may not provide browning effects of regular sugar. Start with smaller amounts to assess individual tolerance.
