Erythritol Granules | Made From Non GMO Pears In France | Not From Corn Sludge in China | 6 LB | Zero Calories | No Net Carbs

I was rather appalled to learn that most erythritol is harvested from corn sludge from dubious sources. This meant I was eating not only corn, but GMO corn, and certainly non-organic corn. Ick. I got some of this for cleaner eating. Wow! I was not expecting the fresher sweeter and somehow just overall better more like sugar taste. I didn't expect any difference in taste. I also think it is more sweet. I use less. Therefore, I think the few pennies more per ounce are offset by using less. In any case, it tastes wonderful, has no weird aftertaste, is pristine clean, and probably less toxic all around than anything grown on generic corn sludge. Plus, it's made in France and European food standards are high. I've eaten it on cereal, over fruit, in hot drinks, and have baked with it. I think it performs beautifully and seems to be measure for measure like sugar in most uses. It melts better than the other erythritol, but let's face it, erythritol doesn't melt very well unless it has been powdered aka confectioners or 10X or castor sugar. You can powder this. Put into tightly capped Vitamix on high until it clouds up and then turn it off. Let the powder settle before you remove the lid, haha, or you'll end up dusting your kitchen. If not yet powder, repeat. 1 cup granular = 2 cups powdered. You can store the powdered erythritol for sauces, hot chocolate, Golden Milk, homemade ice cream, fruit gelatin with agar agar etc, baking, candy making, frosting etc. Anyway, I'm a picky baker and cook. I'm also interested in eating as cleanly as possible. I not only think this is more healthy, but I think it tastes better and cooks/bakes better. Worth the tiny extra cost, for sure, and I pay attention to food cost. Recommend. God bless!

This is 100% Erythritol, no fillers, zero calories, 0 sugars, 4 grams sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohol is made from pears in France and not from carb slug in China, that is what their advertisement claims. Some sugar alcohols are made from wood products. Is that healthy? I do not know. That is why I purchased this product, made from fruit. The bags are huge, easy to open and the product is excellent. Great as a no carb, no calorie sweetener in coffee, in baked goods, pies, cookies, etc. I think the ratio is 1:1, 1 cup Eryth = 1 cup sugar, but I'm not sure. In baked goods I usually use this product plus a little monk fruit plus perhaps a couple tablespoons of honey or brown natural sugar and maybe a packet or two of stevia. I think this mimics real sugar perfectly. I'll buy this again and I recommend it.Just fyi for novices: I would not use Stevia in coffee, with cocoa or in cream cheese cakes. In my opinion, it creates a strange taste.

This is my second purchase of Erythritol Granules | Made From Non GMO Pears In France I am very happy with taste and look of this product, it looks and taste like sugar and you can use it if you are a diabetic, I am using it as I am only pre diabetic but anyone can use it and does not have that after taste that artificial sweeteners have like saccharin sweeteners have, the only problem with this sweetener is that it is not portable, which I myself do not mind, if I need or want I just put it in one of those little ziplock bags and I am good to go and if you use a lot of this sugar then I would suggest getting a five to six pound bag as it could be expensive to buy the smaller bags, and should not depend on the ziplock closure on this bag of sweetener as the ziplock does not last very long it will separate from the bag after so many openings or repeated opening, I just transfer to another container for this problem, other than those two problems this product is superior to other sweeteners and is naturally derived from Pears, apart from the four stars I gave this product which I only gave for the packaging problem, it does really earn five stars for the product, not the bag it comes in, I do recommend this brand and product above all others.

Just to note, this is my first time using Erythritol. It has a pretty decent flavor, I didn't notice any after taste, but it does NOT have the potency or sweetness as actual sugar or other alternative sweeteners. The first time I used this I did get an upset stomach, which is common (from what I'm told) with erythritol. I can't use it with coffee, because I like very very sweet coffee, and the amount I use causes the upset stomach.It worked fine for in a batch of cookies I made, and I intend to use it for cakes as such soon. Seems to be a good alternative since it has no after taste, but may take a bit more to subdue your sweet tooth. (which might give you stomach problems for a bit.)

I really like the way this tastes in my nut butter. I put it in the blender with the nuts and mix it up. Taste great. Like the feeling I get when I eat it as it does not raise my insulin levels like regular sweeteners do. I highly recommend this product if you need to lower your insulin levels. Customer service is excellent.

I didn't want to like this product. It's more expensive. The description sounds like BS. HOWEVER, trying is the proof. Of course, Erythritol is a molecular product of a chemical reaction. There's really no much you can do to make "better". However, there is a subtle, slight more sweetness in this version than the common crap. There is a vague, almost undetectable lack of an aftertaste like with the common crap. So, I suppose, since taste is the object here, this product does win, ever so slightly, on "better taste". And, for the few extra cents it costs, it's a value. Sometimes, savor and flavor mean more than cheaper.
