Background info - Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol, also known as a polyol, that is used as a sugar substitute. It has a similar taste and texture to sugar, but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic index, making it a popular alternative for people who are watching their sugar intake. Erythritol is used as a sweetener in a variety of foods and beverages, including sugar-free gum, baked goods, and dairy products. It is also available as a standalone sweetener for use in cooking and baking.
