Reviewer: A customer in Illinois |
| POWDERED Erythritol has changed my life as a baker! I thought I had completely ran out of options in advancing my sugar free, natural baking when I bought Erythritol crystals and they had a terrible cooling effect. The powdered form inhibits the crystalization and eliminated the cooling effect. I bake everything with this stuff. My Italian family, with all of our traditional high-fat desserts, goes crazy over my sweets with this stuff. They never suspect a thing until I tell them it's sugar free. The gastronomic side effects associated with sugar alcohols are also not as common for Erythritol. |

Reviewer: Scott in New York |
| A versatile, non-caloric sweetener that I can heartily recommend. I've been using it for baking for years and love the results. I typically use it as the "bulk" sweetener, measure for measure in recipes, and add some drops of liquid sucralose (Splenda) to make up for it being not quite as sweet as sugar. The powdered version works best. From flour based cakes to cheesecakes, I've found this to be a real substitute for all that sugar.
I still use the liquid sucralose in my coffee, (EZ Sweets)but erythritol gets used for most everything else. (except for jams and jellies, it crystallizes.) |

Reviewer: Alice in North Carolina |
| This finely powdered product is comparable to confectioners sugar and especially useful in recipes where the granular version may not dissolve completely and a smooth consistency is important. |

| Erythritol is a great sugar substitute. I used erythritol for all our holiday baking and did not gain a pound ...no carb and extremely low glycemic effect. I greatly suggest the powdered instead of granular. |

Reviewer: Kristine in Wisconsin |
| I really like the powdered erythritol. It blends easily and it sure beats that bitter aftertaste that Splenda sweeteners can give, especially with chocolate. I have switched to using the erythritol almost exclusively for my desserts and sweets making. Thank you, Netrition, for offering the powdered form. I can only find granular in my local stores and the powdered is much better. |

| I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this product!!! If you are eating low carb it is a must have!!! My kids love the Rock candy we make with the crystals. I use the powder to make the most delish cheesecake. I wish I could give it 10 stars! No GI upset at all, and I'm very sensitive. Do yourself a favor and buy it!! |

Reviewer: Francis in Texas |
| I love erythritol. As a sweetener you measure it 1 for 1 as you would sugar but it is slightly less sweet. I add few drops of Stevia extract for each cup of eythritol I use and it works great. Another plus about erythritol is that unlike other alcohol sugars it does not cause any of the intestinal upsets for me. I use it for baking and sweetening tea and lemonade. Most of the time my family can't even tell the difference. |

Reviewer: Karen in New Hampshire |
| Being new to low carb, I've only used this in one recipe so far (brownies.) I was pleased with the results (who knew you could have brownies on a low carb lifestyle?) I would recommend that you try this as a sweetener in your low carb recipes. |

Reviewer: Kathy A in Connecticut |
| Love this stuff! It looks like powdered sugar, is very sweet & has NO aftertaste! I sift it before putting in recipe as it can clump a little in bag after opened. I make a lot of regular dessert recipes and just switch out the sugar & flour for zero or low carb replacements. |

Reviewer: John in Tennessee |
| This Erythritol has a major advantage from the other brands and that is: it's in the POWDER form - incredibly easy to use, it dissolves quickly, perfect for baking (such as cookies where you have to whip butter+sugar) and salad dressings. I am on the Candida diet and I use Stevia extract, Truvia, and/or Erythritol as sweeteners. |

Reviewer: Emily in Washington |
| Yes, erythritol has a 'cooling sensation' in the mouth when you use a lot of it, as in a cookie recipe, etc. As long as you keep that in mind, and if you're used to working with erythritol, this is a great product. Less expensive than most E. The powdered stuff is really great, saves me from having to powder it myself in a coffee grinder so it will be less grainy in recipes. I wouldn't use it by itself because of the cooling thing, but it works well blended with other sweeteners. |

Reviewer: Noelle in Virginia |
| Erythritol is a great natural sweetener. It is unusual because it has a cooling or menthol effect on the tongue. Because of this, I use it for things like sweetening cut up fruit and in my morning coffee. It's really great stuff in both forms, but the powder mixes into things much quicker. Definitely recommend. |

Reviewer: Gloria in Washington |
| Some recipes don't require much heating.
The granular won't always dissolve, but the powdered does.
I use both forms depending on the recipe.
Without the powdered form, I would have to find another sweetener, and I prefer Erythritol as one of my sweeteners. |

Reviewer: Lisa in Connecticut |
| This is a great sweetener for the low carb diet. I like to mix it with stevia extract. The powder dissolves quickly. Perfect in the sugar-free zucchini brownies I made. The erythritol powder mixed with stevia extract powder made the best chocolate frosting to spread over the brownies. This is now a staple in my low carb kitchen. |

Reviewer: Kate in Canada |
| This stuff is awesome. I've used it in every recipe so far that requires sweetener which has the texture and consistency of real sugar, and it hasn't let me down. My roommate noticed the "cooling sensation" when I candied it and used it to make chocolate macaroons, but until then, I'd noticed nothing. Love this stuff and can't stop ordering it. It makes WICKED brownies!! |

Reviewer: Corliss in Tennessee |
| This is the greatest product ever for low carbing. I am a sweets fiend and no way could I get by without it. I mix it with a common commercial brand 2 parts erythritol to 1 part of the store bought and it is as good as sugar. The calories and carbs don't even compare and the store bought stuff can't hold a candle to it. The key is to mix it for the right taste. I use both the crystals and the powdered. |

Reviewer: A customer in Washington |
| One of the 2 negative things I keep hearing about Erythritol is that it is hard to dissolve; well, this powdered version completely takes care of that. The second is that it has a cooling sensation. This is true, but I make it work for me by using it in recipes in which mint would go well. Like chocolate and coffee flavored things. Also, the less you use, the less noticeable the cooling sensation is, so 1 tsp in coffee or tea is fine. Also, HUGE PLUSES: although it is a sugar alcohol, it is digested differently than maltitol and therefore we notice none of the horrible digestive problems that we get with even just a little maltitol. And, unlike most other sugar alcohols, it has a ZERO glycemix index. |

Reviewer: Veronica in Texas |
| I love erythritol. Gram per gram it is not as sweet as sugar so I mix the erythritol with Splenda. I don't like the after-taste of Splenda, but it adds just the right amount of sweetness without after-taste when mixed with the erythritol. It bakes well, but does not caramelize or get syrupy. Oh, well can't have everything. However, the taste is spectacular- just like sugar. I mean REALLY like sugar. |

Reviewer: Cindy in Kansas |
| I purchased both the granular and powdered and used the powdered today to make frosting. I melted 1oz unsweetened chocolate and added about 2/3 cup of powdered erythritol. It was WAY thick so I added about 1t Fiberfit (liquid Splenda)and about 1/4 cup hot milk (wanted to make sure the chocolate stayed melted). It made the smoothest frosting. I put it on top of a batch of Flax Z Snax Elite brownies. Very good. This is my new frosting. Vanilla will be easy. Just butter melted, vanilla and milk. |

| Finally, I have found a non-caloric sweetener that actually tastes terrific. It works well in cooking and baking. I have not had intestinal troubles from using this product as I have with many of the other sweeteners. I am very pleased to have found such a product. Now, I just wish they sold it in 5lb bags or larger to give us a little discount in the price!! |

Reviewer: eliza in Florida |
| I have been on the Atkins Diet since the end of June and 1 of the new foods I have come across is Erythritol. It is a great sweetener with no aftertaste that you can detect. You do get a cool feeling in your mouth when you eat it and it can make your tongue feel raw if you consume too much at once. So I wouldn't make frosting out of it but for coffee or in a recipe it is awesome. |

Reviewer: Joyce R in New York |
| This is a great sweetener for baking. I use it for making chocolate ganache balls, and it binds the chocolate and cream quite well. The only problem is that it doesn't completely dissolve and leaves some white specks (clumps). It does clump in the bag, so I put what I need in the food processor and make it into a finer powder, which helps, but not completely. It's a great low carb sweetener substitute. |

Reviewer: CarolAnn in South Carolina |
| I like this sweetener better than Splenda, which for me leaves an after-taste. I actually use this product in drink mixes -- like Crystal Lite -- which also usually leaves an after taste, but sweetened with Erythritol, the after taste is gone! If you use too much, it can have a laxative effect, but again, not as bad as Maltitol, which I stopped using because it's laxative effect for me was too high. |

| When I received the powdered erythritol, it was all clumped together in one big block. I had to bang it against my counter just to get it to break in half! I definitely will not be purchasing this product again. Editors note: Clumping is normal due to fine powdered nature of this product. Banging against table or counter is sometimes necessary. |

| I bought this sweetner after reading the other positive reviews, and I must say that I was extremely disappointed. I baked a cake with carbquick, and this sweetner had a slightly sweet taste, but the cooling taste is really horrible. It is not even an "aftertaste," it is a "duringtaste." I also tried to put it in a pudding that I normally put aspartame in, and it tasted awful. I'll stick to splenda for baking. |

| I can't believe the good reviews for this item. Horrible aftertaste. I've tried this by itself and then tried combining it with Splenda but the weird taste was still there, no matter what I mixed it with. A complete waste of money. Much better off using Diabetisweet or FiberFit. |
