How is Erythritol used?
Let's start with the basics: How much erythritol compared to sugar ?
Erythritol sweetens about 70% of sugar. To give you an idea, in a recipe, 100 g of sugar corresponds to about 130 grams of erythritol. This is the proportion of Erythritol to use in desserts to replace sugar. It can be used in exactly the same way (balancing the doses) as sugar and can be substituted in any preparation.
It can be used to sweeten coffee , tea, herbal teas and other hot drinks, to prepare all kinds of desserts, from biscuits to cakes to spoon desserts and smoothies. Erythritol can also be used in savory recipes, for example in marinades for meat and fish or in the caramelization of classic confit tomatoes.

The consumption of Erythritol has no particular contraindications, in excessive doses it can have mild laxative effects, but in doses of a balanced daily consumption, in quantities equal to or even slightly higher than the quantities consumed of common table sugar, it is completely safe, for health and for the figure.
