This Is My Favorite Sugar Substitute
It doesn't affect blood glucose levels. This is the one product that my palate can't tell the difference from normal sugars. It looks and pours like granulated sugar. It has a pleasant vanilla like scent. My experience is the amount I use is equivalent to table sugar for sweetening.
It just seems to hit my palate in the same way table sugar does without any bitterness, sharp sweetness, or lingering thin, sweet after taste on the roof of my mouth like other substitutes.
Note: I have edited this to include the following additional information.
My experience with Stevia sweeteners is there seems to be a short, intense sweetness that is different than what I would expect as an equivalent sweetness profile to sugar. I am not saying it is a bad thing. But it does take away from enjoying the food when I am distracted by the different sweetness profile. (I have tried the Pyure liquid squirt product for convenience and it works OK in my coffee at work. But still a bit sharp and different than I like. The ingredients show basically water and Stevia. No Erythritol listed.)
It seems like this granular Stevia and Erythritol blend does a great job of balancing the "sharp" sweetness of Stevia which is appprox 350x as sweet as sugar with the "dull" sweetness of Erythritol which is said to be about 70% as sweet as sugar.
I seriously can't tell the difference between this sugar substitute and regular sugar.
