Erythritol Sweetener Non-GMO Natural Sugar Substitute 3lb - Granulated Low Calorie Sweetener High Digestive Tolerance Suitable for Diabetes Keto and Paleo - Baking Substitute

I'm a devoted low-carb/keto dieter, so finding analogues/replacements is crucial; boredom is a lethal enemy for any diet plan.So, here's HaleFresh's Erythritol. It comes in a HUGE pouch, which might suffice people who use it only to sweeten beverages, etc., for quite some time. For cooks, it's about six weeks' (at least for me, but I do a LOT of baking) supply.The quality of the sweetener is high; it's consistently granulated and it's fresh and dry when it arrives, which makes for easy measurement. That's amazing, considering it's pure Erythritol, with no anti-caking agents, etc., so it's a natural product, for those of you who care about those things.My only quibble is that it's not quite sweet enough; you have to use quite a bit to taste it, which I know is a limitation inherent in Erythritol. However, I feel that bears repeating, lest someone read this and forget before ordering. It's not tasteless, it's just that you need to use more to get the same effect. However, the one thing that weighs heavily in its favor is that it does NOT have an aftertaste--unlike stevia.On the whole, I'd say this was a wise purchase--especially when you consider how much (3 lbs.) for the money.

This sweetener in derived from fruit or yeast. It is non-caloric, does not increase blood sugar levels and does not promote tooth decay. It is about 70% as sweet as sugar and it does have a little bit of a taste (NOT an unpleasant after-taste like aspartame or stevia. There is NO after taste with erythritol) It actually tastes really good and I love the way is sweetens my coffee. Despite its' chemical sounding name it is not an artificial sweetener. If you do your research online you will see that it is natural. I have been using it for 3 years and love it. The price I paid with this company is a good value so I will continue to order from them.

Finally used this yesterday to make keto fig newtons. Used in both the fresh fig filling as well as the surrounding cookie. They are wonderful. No weird aftertastes. I am only using erythritol for future baking of sweets. And your Amazon price is the best I could find.18Sept2019 - The fig newtons are gone!!! This morning I purchased another 3lb bag of this product, because I have used the first bag. I have made lemon cookies, orange cookies, and chocolate-mint cookies, all very tasty. My husband and I have been doing the low-carb diet for several years and have really missed baked goods. The 'Keto' fad has been wonderful, and especially finding this type of sugar that we can use to make sweet treats has been refreshing.The only thing I notice different about Erythritol versus real sugar is there is a cool feeling in the mouth when chewing one of these cookies. This is why I created the Chocolate-Mint recipe--to use that to my advantage. We are pleased with this product.

This stuff is phenomenal! I have been searching for years for a sugar replacement. I'm better at eating clean food than abstaining from sugary drinks so, I have been looking for a "soda-solution" for years. I bought this....and some unsweetened Kool-aid packets. I put the drink mix in hot water with 1 1/3 Cups of Erythritol and shake it until the crystals dissolve. Add cold water (until I have 56 oz) and chill it or pour it over ice. It. tastes. better. than. everything. else. out. there. No aftertaste and not sugary sweet. My daughter loved it.....my diabetic husband thanked me for it. He was hesitant to try it because that particular drink from our youth was historically too sweet. It is perfect. I gave it 4 stars because if you drink too much, you get gastro symptoms and spend some time in the bathroom. You are forced to consume it in moderation which is kind of a bummer. Regardless, I feel fortunate to have found it.

I absolutely love this erythritol! It truly does taste just like sugar! No strange after taste like there is with other sweetners such as Splenda. I even tried Swerve before switching to this brand and there was still a bit of an aftertaste, but fortunately not with this one. It definitely does have the "cooling effect" if you use in large amounts, but that's to be expected as it's just the nature of this sugar alcohol. However one of the benefits to erythritol is that if used in larger amounts it is far less likely to cause any gastric distress compared to other sugar-free sweetness because about 90% of it is absorbed into the bloodstream and then excreted, leaving only the remaining 10% to be digested by the gut. It doesnt increase blood sugar at all and is virtually calorie and carb free. It's an all around win-win. I highly recommend especially if you are on a ketogenic diet like myself and want a little sweetness without the trouble of kicking yourself out of ketosis.

I have lost over 25 pounds on a low fat keto diet, and if I could not have my low carb tortillas rolled with peanut butter and sweetener, I would never have made it! This sweetener is wonderful. It does not clump, sprinkles or pours easily and the price was absolutely fabulous. when I cook for my husband, who is on NO diet, and the recipe calls for sugar, I usually half and half it with this sweetener, and he NEVER notices. And he has a palate that can taste anything "unnatural." This is good stuff! I am a foodie and remember how sweet should taste!
