Are you looking for a sugar substitute that you can use one-to-one instead of sugar? That is exactly what this 1000-gram bag is made for. Three sweeteners, nothing else. You measure out the same amount as you would with regular sugar and that is it. No conversion table, no scale needed.
Erythritol makes up the largest part, 65.4 percent. It looks like granulated sugar and provides virtually no calories, but it is only about 70 percent as sweet as sugar. That is the problem with erythritol on its own: you need more of it. Xylitol, 34.5 percent of the mixture, is exactly as sweet as sugar. And the 0.1 percent steviol glycosides fill the last gap. In short: together they equal the sweetness of sugar, where each of the three would fall short on its own. That is the reason this sugar substitute works one-to-one and erythritol on its own does not.
Erythritol is a small molecule. Over ninety percent passes through the intestinal wall in your small intestine, and because your body has no enzyme to break it down, it leaves your body unchanged via your urine within a day. So hardly anything reaches your large intestine. Xylitol is different: about half of it is absorbed and processed in your liver via the pentose phosphate pathway. That is why xylitol provides 2.4 kilocalories per gram and erythritol virtually zero. The 83 kilocalories per 100 grams on the packaging therefore come almost entirely from the xylitol part. Just do the math: 34.5 grams times 2.4 is 82.8.
Cake, cookies, muffins, yogurt, coffee, whipped cream: this stuff does exactly what you expect. But be honestly prepared for two things. Polyols do not caramelize and do not participate in the browning reaction, so your cake will remain paler and crème brûlée or caramel sauce will not work. And yeast does not eat it, so it is useless in bread dough. The xylitol part does retain moisture, which keeps your baked goods moist for longer. That is exactly what erythritol on its own does not do.
Sugar alcohols can have a laxative effect when consumed in large quantities. The EFSA sets a limit of 0.5 grams per kilo of body weight per day for erythritol, which amounts to about 35 grams for a person weighing 70 kilos. That is roughly 50 grams of this product. Build up slowly over a week or two, then you will notice little of it in practice. One thing is not a matter of getting used to it: xylitol is toxic to dogs. From about 0.1 grams per kilo of dog weight it becomes dangerous, so for a ten-kilo dog a few grams are enough. Put the bag away where your dog cannot reach it.
A one-kilo bag of sugar substitute lasts for months with normal use. Good to know: store it dry and tightly closed, because polyols absorb moisture and then clump together.
Replace 100 grams of sugar with 100 grams of Almost Sugar. The steviol glycoside component exactly compensates for the loss of sweetness from erythritol, so you don't need to do any conversions.
Granulated sugar contains around 400 kilocalories per 100 grams. Those 83 come almost entirely from the xylitol portion: 34.5 grams multiplied by 2.4 kilocalories is 82.8.
Erythritol, xylitol and steviol glycosides. That's all there is. Many table sweeteners use maltodextrin or dextrose as a filler.
At about 10 grams per serving, you get around a hundred servings. The bag can be resealed, which is practical with these sweeteners because they absorb moisture.

Erythritol provides virtually no calories and is excreted almost entirely unchanged, but is only about 70 percent as sweet as sugar. Xylitol is exactly as sweet as sugar and retains moisture in baked goods, but it does provide 2.4 kilocalories per gram and is more likely to cause digestive issues. In this mixture, they are combined in a ratio of roughly two to one, so you get the best of both.
Yes, in terms of quantity and sweetness. What you need to take into account is the colour and texture: it doesn't caramelise or contribute to the browning reaction, so your cake will remain paler. Brush it with some beaten egg or bake it a little longer at a lower temperature.
The EFSA recommends 0.5 grams per kilo of body weight per day for erythritol, so about 35 grams at 70 kilos. That converts to about 50 grams of this product. Start with smaller amounts and build up over one to two weeks, because your bowels will get used to it.
Because you are buying a ready-made ratio. Otherwise, you would have to weigh out and mix two bags, and you cannot accurately dose the steviol glycosides to 0.1 percent in a home kitchen. Compared to brand-name sweeteners such as Sukrin or Natvia, which work out to around 25 to 35 euros per kilo, the price per kilo here is actually quite favorable.
Yes. Erythritol is authorised as a sweetener (E968) in the EU. In 2023, the EFSA re-assessed erythritol and concluded that it is safe for use as a sweetener.
Xylitol is toxic to dogs. In dogs, it triggers a massive release of insulin, something that does not happen in humans. It becomes dangerous from approximately 0.1 grams of xylitol per kilogram of body weight, so for a ten-kilogram dog, even a few grams of this product are enough. Keep the bag out of reach and do not give your dog crumbs of baked goods containing this ingredient.
