Erythritol is a natural sugar alcohol, commonly used as a sugar substitute in a variety of foods and beverages. This sweetener is renowned for its unique properties, providing sweetness without the calories or impact on blood sugar levels normally associated with regular sugar. Erythritol has almost no calories, making it the preferred choice for those who want to reduce their calorie intake or regulate their blood sugar levels. Unlike some other sugar alcohols, it is well tolerated by most people and is less likely to cause digestive upset. Erythritol is often found in sugar-free and low-calorie products, including sugar-free sweets, chewing gum and diet drinks, giving a sweet taste without the guilt or potential health problems associated with excessive sugar intake.
Erythritol is found naturally in a variety of fruits such as pears, grapes, melons and watermelons.
