*Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, similar to xylitol and sorbitol. The main difference is that it is processed and absorbed in the small intestine, so there are no adverse digestive symptoms associated with it. It is also granulated like sugar. It has a zero glycemic index and doesn’t cause an insulin spike. It can be substituted for sugar in most recipes, however, you will want to use less than what is called for.
