Have you ever wondered what sweeteners to go with on a low-carb diet?
I get asked about Erythritol all the time. I won't recap all the details from the article here, but here are the fundamentals you need to know about erythritol.Erythritol:
Is a sugar alcohol that comes from fruit, vegetables, or the fermentation of wheat, bacteria, and corn.
Has a glycemic index of 0 and is one of two non-caloric sugar alcohols.
Is well-tolerated with few side effects, has close to zero net carbs, and even has some potential health benefits.
Can also improve the mouth feeling of food and mask certain unwanted aftertastes such as bitterness or mask other intense sweeteners.
Can be used in a 1:1 ratio as you would use sugar which means that the food product you use it in has a texture closer to its sugar heavy alternative.
Therefore, erythritol is a great choice for keto. It has few side effects, virtually no calories, and zero carbs while offering possible health benefits.
