Erythritol Sweetener - 1 kg in Powder Form Ingredients: 100% Erythritol (E968) T.E.T.T: 29.06.2024 100 g Erythritol-based sweetener has the same sweetness as 75g sugar. Erythritol Based Sweetener is suitable for use in food for direct consumption. How to Use: It can be used instead of sugar in all kinds of foods and beverages. It can also be used while cooking. Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol. Erythritol is found naturally in fruits such as grapes and watermelons, vegetables such as carrots and potatoes, mushrooms and fermented products. Erythritol was first discovered in 1848 by a Scottish chemist named John Stenhouse. Japan has been using erythritol as a natural sugar substitute in candy, jam, chocolate (including common chocolate) and yogurt since the early 1990s. It has more recently gained popularity in the United States. As of 1997, it has a generally accepted-safe status from the FDA and the food industry, and consumers love it because it has 80 percent of the sweetness of sugar—but it's calorie-free and doesn't raise blood sugar levels. Excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect.
