What is erythritol?

Erythritol is a sweet-tasting organic compound belonging to the polyols, or sugar alcohols. It occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits and fermented foods, such as grapes, pears, wine and soy sauce. Erythritol is white, crystalline and dissolves well in water, which is why it is used as a substitute for sugar, or sucrose. As a food additive, erythritol is labelled E968. Because erythritol is a polyol, excessive consumption may have a laxative effect – so it is worth introducing the sweetener into your diet gradually.

How to use?

Use erythritol for sweetening in the same way as table sugar, for example in drinks, yoghurt, porridge, desserts and baking. Introduce erythritol into your diet gradually and find the amount that suits you. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect. Keep the package closed after opening so that the powder does not absorb moisture.
