Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between xylitol and erythritol?
Xylitol and erythritol are both naturally occurring sugar alcohols (not actually alcohol) extracted from plants. Here are some key differences for xylitol vs erythritol:
- Xylitol is sweeter than erythritol – you can use xylitol in a 1:1 ratio as a sugar replacement vs 1.4:1 erythritol to sugar (i.e.: erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar)
- Erythritol has a zero glycaemic index where as xylitol has a low glycaemic index
- Some people find erythritol produces a cooling effect and like to balance it with a secondary sweetener such as stevia
What is the difference between stevia and xylitol?
While stevia and xylitol are both naturally occurring sweeteners, here are some key differences of stevia vs xylitol:
- Stevia consists of a mixture of natural compounds called stevia glycosides naturally extracted from the leaves of a stevia plant while xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol
- Xylitol is on par in sweetness to sugar so you can substitute it in a ratio of 1:1 but stevia is a lot sweeter (at least 30 time the sweetness of sugar) so a little goes a long way
- Xylitol is a lot closer in taste to sugar whereas stevia is described as having a bitter taste
