Erythritol is a type of sugar alcohol commonly used as a low-calorie sweetener. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods, and it is also commercially produced through the fermentation of glucose by yeast. Erythritol is about 60-70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), but it contains only about 0.2 calories per gram, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce calorie intake.
