-Carb powdered SUGAR 500g
Erythrit, Natural calorie-free sweetener, finely ground
Natural calorie-free pwodered sweetener.
ERYTHRITOL, also known under the name erythritol or the brand name "Sukrin", is the ideal sugar substitute. The sugar alcohol "erythritol" is produced naturally from sugar through fermentation with special microorganisms (similar to alcoholic fermentation). This has almost all the familiar properties of sugar: it looks like sugar, tastes almost 100% identical to sugar, but has no calories, does not attack teeth and is 100% insulin neutral. Even negative effects such as flatulence or increased intestinal activity, which are known from other sugar substitutes, do not occur with erythritol. The sweetening power of -carb sugar is reduced by only about 20% compared to normal sugar. Particularly attractive for the low-carb gourmet is that you can caramelize and candy with -carb sugar.
Our -carb powdered sugar is particularly finely ground erythritol. Whenever little or no water is involved when cooking or baking, it is better to use -carb powdered sugar instead of normal -carb sugar. This avoids biting on the larger non-dissolving granules. The icing sugar is also ideal for dusting cakes or cookies. In all other applications you can use the slightly cheaper normal -carb sugar.

| Bemerkungen | Erythritol is made from starch and is a polyhydric alcohol (polyol). This has nothing to do with the ethanol in wine or beer, but is only the official name for this class of substances. According to the EU standard, it is to be recorded under carbohydrates, but it contains no calories and does not cause an insulin reaction in the body. Our supplier states that the erythritol is more than 99.5% pure. This is the highest purity available on the market. Competitors reporting 100% have rounded purity. For products that contain a sugar alcohol, we are obliged by the EU standard to provide the following information: "Excessive consumption can have a laxative effect." Hardly any cases of such a "side effect" are known for the natural sugar alcohol erythritol. We have summarized how nutritional information is determined and what low-carb people in particular should know about it in a somewhat detailed article Understanding nutritional information. Note: This ingredient does not have a reduced carbohydrate content as defined by EU Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006 in connection with the Food Labeling Ordinance. The reason is that the contained sugar substitute erythritol is to be summed up as carbon anhydrous within the meaning of EU Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006. In terms of the concept of a carbohydrate-reduced diet (low carb), in deviation from this definition, it is only about the reduction of usable carbohydrates, i.e. carbohydrates that directly influence the blood sugar level (sugar, starch). This product is recommended as a low-carb cooking and baking ingredient, as it has a reduced proportion of usable carbohydrates compared to sugar in the sense of a low-carb diet. |
