What exactly is erythritol? The name sounds pretty chemical…

Erythritol is an alcoholic sugar formed by fermentation. This means that it is one of the natural sweeteners. Erythritol is present in its natural form in fruits (watermelons, pears, peaches and grapes), mushrooms and fermented foods (cheeses, wine, beer…). Erythritol has a clean, naturally sweet taste and has the same appearance and structure as ordinary white sugar. Erythritol reaches about 80 percent sweetness of classic white sugar (sucrose), which in practice means replacing 1 teaspoon of classic white sugar with 1.2 teaspoons of erythritol. Erythritol with stevia is resistant to high temperatures and therefore has no restrictions in baking and cooking.

And why is erythritol with stevia a good choice?

The best feature of erythritol with stevia is that it is NO calories and has no effect on raising blood sugar and insulin (its glycemic index is ZERO), so it can be also safely used by diabetics. And that’s not all. Studies have shown another interesting property of erythritol with stevia, namely that it does not cause tooth decay and helps to restore tooth enamel. This, of course, cannot be attributed to classic white sugar.

Unlike other alcoholic sugars, erythritol with stevia is mostly absorbed into the blood in the small intestine, but then it is not metabolized and finally excreted in the urine. Its advantage is that it does not cause digestive disorders compared to xylitol and maltitol, but it can still have a laxative effect in larger quantities. Moderate consumption is recommended. For owners of dog friends, it is very important to note that erythritol is not a problem for dogs if they accidentally ingests it (and also for other pets). Which, unfortunately, is not the case for xylitol (or birch sugar), which is deadly (!) for dogs in very small quantities.
