Ingredients: erythriol, organic inulin, rice maltodextrin, guar gum, organic stevia extract. Contains 0.4g. fructose, maltose and glucose in 1 tbsp. spoon. When used in cooking, it can replace sugar 1: 1. It is stable in baking, while reducing its calorie content. First, some information about the components: ERITRIOL is a white powder with a clean sweet taste, in intensity equal to 70% of the sweetness of sucrose, it does not cause caries and is safe for patients with diabetes mellitus, does not affect the rise in glucose and insulin level in the blood, has a very low energy value (0.2 cal / g), which is about 7-13% of their calories and about 5% calories of sucrose. Erythritol is part of the natural composition of some fruits (plums, melon, grapes). Erythritol belongs to the class of polyhydric alcohols - polyols. Xylitol and sorbitol, well known to diabetics, belong to the same class. At the same time, erythritol does not have the laxative effect characteristic of these sweeteners. Since 1997, erythritol is approved for use in the United States, and since 1990 it has been used in Japan as a food supplement to many Japanese dishes. Erythritol is one of the best sweeteners used in diet therapy aimed at reducing body weight. Deficiencies are characteristic of polyols - the feeling of a "cold" taste, the effect of chill. But I personally do not consider this a drawback - you will not put this sweetener in your mouth with spoons. So she went and laid it now ... however, there is a feeling of chill, as if he had just been taken out of the frost. Cool. I’ll go and put it again ...;) RICE MALTHODEXTRIN is a product of partial starch decomposition into smaller fragments - dextrins; consists of a mixture of maltose and dextrins (various mono-, di- and polysaccharides). Maltodextrin has a draining effect on foods, so it is used in various foods to give them a powdered form. Maltodextrin is a source of energy during exercise. With complete breakdown of maltodextrin, glucose is formed. Compared to simple sugars, it has advantages, since it is broken down into glucose in the digestive tract, and at a relatively low speed, which guarantees a long and uniform supply of glucose into the body during training. Although maltodextrin is not sweet in taste, it is a saccharide, and in chemical properties it is similar to sugar. Maltodextrin is also a carbohydrate component of sports nutrition. GUAR GUM (E-412 or guaran) is obtained by extraction from the seeds of the plant C tetragonoloba. It is believed that it is practically not absorbed in the intestine and helps to reduce appetite and very effectively reduces cholesterol and saturated fat in the body. It is used as an improver in bakery production, as a stabilizer for cheeses, frozen desserts and other dairy products, jams and jellies, juices. I bought this sweetener to add to coffee, because I can’t drink coffee without sugar at all. I tried the BetterStevia sweetener, but it tastes terrible and has an aftertaste! This sweetener also contains stevia, but I don’t feel it - apparently it was added quite a bit. The sweetener does not differ in taste about sugar, its grains are rather small, smaller than in ordinary sugar. It dissolves quickly in a liquid. It can also be used in baking, replacing sugar 1: 1, but for baking, I think it is expensive - for those who want to lose weight, it is not worth eating baked goods at all;) What concerns
