Functions:
When baking cookies, they need to cool down out of the oven before they firm up and hold together. Erythritol will not caramelise, so a Monkfruit-based sweetener works better in breads, pastries, and Allulose is better for soft gels and caramels.
For some people, Erythritol can give a mouth-cooling feel, this can disappear by waiting to eat items made until the next day.
Keto and Low carb recipes using this low carb ingredient: Sweet Garlic Salmon, BBQ sauce, Keto Sour Cream & Orange Caramel Slice and any recipe that calls for use of a brown sugar.
How much can I eat? There aren't official guidelines on using Erythritol, but most people can handle 1 gram for every kilogram of body weight daily. Excessive consumption acts like a laxative, similar to eating some fruits.
