Erythritol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol (polyol) used as a sugar substitute and food ingredient. It is produced from corn through a natural process of fermentation using enzymes, resulting in a clean-tasting sweetener with no added sugars.
With a sweetness level of approximately 60–70% of sucrose (table sugar), erythritol delivers gentle sweetness without the sharp spikes associated with regular sugar. It has a clean, neutral flavour and works well in both hot and cold applications.
Erythritol is commonly used in baking, beverages, sauces and desserts, making it a popular choice for low-sugar, keto and diabetic-friendly recipes. It dissolves easily, does not caramelise like sugar, and provides sweetness without adding bulk calories.
A versatile, modern sweetener for those looking to reduce sugar without sacrificing taste.
