Vilgain Erythritol crystalized is a sweetener that occurs naturally in some fruits and mushrooms. It is one of the so‑called sugar alcohols (polyols), which are of natural origin. It is currently produced by microbial fermentation of a carbohydrate.
In the world of fitness and healthy nutrition, it has gained its irreplaceable position mainly as a substitute for regular sugar. It looks the same, tastes very similar, but has a lower sweetness. Our body cannot use erythritol as a source of energy and it is excreted in the urine. As a result, it contains no calories and does not bloat your stomach. Unlike some other sweeteners, erythritol has no awful aftertaste.
Consumption of foods or beverages containing erythritol instead of sugar, reduces blood glucose levels and also helps to maintain tooth mineralized.
You can use erythritol to sweeten coffee, tea, cold drinks, or for cooking and baking. It is a great choice not only for people on a reduction diet, but also for everyone who wants to replace sugar with a healthier alternative.
