I am looking for POWDERED Erythritol. Is this powdered, or grandular???
1319946
it is grandular. I found powdered though here on Amazon - Swerve Sweetener, Confectioners, 1pk $13.41 Very expensive but works great for frosting and I can do 2 cakes with this amount.

It is granular. I put it in my blender or coffee grinder if I need it powdered.

I purchased this from Amazon. Here is the first line of the item: "Banyan Botanicals Licorice Root Powder- Certified Organic by Banyan Botanicals" and "Sold by Banyan Botanicals and Fulfilled by Amazon." I liked the powder.

The suggested retail price for this 16 oz size is $21.99. Spoonable Stevita SteviaThe sweetest tasting crystals produced by the stevia plant makes the contents of this package as sweet as 3 packets of sugar. To make it possible to package the powder in small individual servings and to make it easier to measure for cooking purposes, we add in erythritol,a bulking agent naturally extracted from fruits, vegetables, and grains. Unlike other fillers in the market such as lactose, maltodextrine, F.O.S., etc, erythritol has a very high digestive tolerance and is very safe for diabetics and zero glycemic index. Available in a box of 50 individual packets or in 2.8 oz. or 16 oz. jars. The suggested retail price for this 16 oz size is $21.99.

There is no difference...this is an amazing brand of erytherol granules highly recommend it!

Label says 3g. All of that coming from the "sugar alcohol", which is the erythritol. (But these carbs are not "net". They pass through the blood and out of the body).

Dear D. Honestly, I don't know. I know that Erythritol is described as sugar alcohol, but in reading more about it, it isn't exactly that. It is derived from fruit. I don't know how it is processed. It isn't as sweet as sugar, but when you are someone like myself who is getting sugar out of the diet, it does provide a little bit of sweetness. I know that doesn't answer your question exactly, but I hope it helps some. I use it because it doesn't raise my blood sugar level.

Can you please explain why? Erythritol can be used 1:1 with a slightly less sweet taste and no after taste. It also does not cause any of the stomach ailments other sugars do. I also use it with liquid stevia such as vanilla or lemon and just add a bit of extra flour or cut back a dropper full of liquid. Hope that helps. I haven't found a good brown sugar substitute yet though with erythritol. Maybe someone else has?

I don't know....I just know that it is very sweet.There is another brand that is just Luo Han Guo. The erythritol does not agreed with me.IT gives me alot of gas, and since I don't drink alcohol, it has the same effects as if I was drinking.

After reading all of these posts about the fake ingredients I ordered from the company website, paying more. I now have the box with the ingredients and they are just the same as this product. So next time I will order from here. I have the Grandelash MD from their website. Go and compare.

1 tsp of this has 4g sugar alcohols. 1tsp of pure erythritol has 4g sugar alcohols. Sounds like the actual amount of monk fruit here is negligible. I call shenanigans...

The nutritional lable says 4 grams of carbohydrates, but that does not translate to 16 calories. See Wikipedia entry at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol

I do not know but I do not like neither of them. The powder tasted horrible the pills are not better. Not be it is a healthly products but do not taste good at all.

Hi Mike, Here is your answer and maybe more than you asked for but hope is helpful...I find more info is usually much better than too little!... Two ingredients: Erythritol & Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Both are zero on glycemic index. Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) tastes much more like sugar whereas Stevia an herb (Rebiana leaves,a chrysanthemum relative) has just a little bit of an aftertaste. Erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol, is absorbed into your blood stream, but does not readily enter any of your body's cells and is usually excreted through your urine. It does not tend to cause gastric distress like Sorbitol, Xylitol or particularly Malitol. I like to mix the ratio of 2 parts Demerara Sugar, 1 part Great Value Zero calorie sweetener (Erythritol & Stevia), & 1 part Lakanto. Excellent combination of taste and very little real sugar. Saves money using some Stevia (the Lakanto is quite expensive but great stuff). Stevia in the Raw brand is more expensive than the Great Value. Also it has Dextrose and Maltodextrin listed in the ingredients. Bad stuff. Dextrose is simply a form of glucose. Maltodextrin is a GMO corn derivative with an extremely high glycemic index of 150 produced from rice, potato or corn starch. It is known to contain MSG and it doesn't need to state that on the ingredient label. Monk Fruit in the Raw also has either Dextrose or Maltodextrin or both. Both Stevia in the Raw and Monkfruit in the Raw on the box make it seem as if they do not contain other stuff, but on the product label and packets, it shows the bad stuff.

Pure Via is made from Pure Stevia extract, which is Dextrose, Reb A, and Cellulose powder. It is suitable for diabetcs, which is why I use it. Go to purevia.com or call them at 1-800-824-2334 for more information about this product.

The majority of sources state that erythritol is made by fermenting glucose, which is derived from a variety of plants. Corn consists of dextrose, a different type of sugar. While the carbohydrates from corn can be hydrolyzed into glucose, I don't know if that is done in the case of erythritol (I imagine it's a costly process). Taking this into consideration, I would say that erythritol is not made from corn (though I'm not the manufacturer and can't say for certain).

If you count erythritol (a sugar alcohol) as a carb it's 5 g per teaspoon. But as erythritol has a glycemic index of zero, it should count as zero carbs.
