This is in granular form it looks and tastes like sugar although not quite as sweet I blend it with Truvia.

I've used both and I've found little to no difference. I tend to purchase the granular bottles because that's how I started. Welcome to the 'spa thing' you'll love it!

If you're looking for the beet rock sugar from Teavana, this is a granulated version of the same stuff. However, it's granulated & not in rock form. I love it in my Teavana loose-leaf tea.

Granular...it's more like sugar. Confection is like powdered sugar, so you'd only use it when the recipe called specifically for powdered (or confectioner's) sugar.

It is made from Erythritol and Luo Han Guo(a fruit) extract. Tastes just like sugar! You can google it on the Saraya Health site. Hope this helps.

To me, erythritol tastes just like sugar, and I am quite picky with my tea sweetener. I do not like truvia....and I can tell if it is in anything. I cannot taste erythritol. I know people vary greatly in this though.

ERYTHRITOL IS THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT in this sweetener, not stevia. Erythritol is listed before the other ingredient, stevia rebaudiana, which means there's more erythritol than stevia in this sweetener. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE [cleverly written] LABEL - it says "we use only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides" - get that? That means that the stevia extract - the SECONDARY ingredient in this product - contains at least 95% steviol glycoside. IT DOES NOT MEAN that 95% is stevia and the rest is erythritol ... far from it. If the actual amounts of erythritol and stevia were openly disclosed on the label, they'd never sell much of it.

I've never heard of Swerve, so I can't say. But I have used Splenda. Erythritol is only about half as sweet as Splenda is. I've come to realize Erythritol is a sweetener best not used alone. The easiest (and cheapest) way to try it is to buy you some Truvia sweetener at the grocery store. It has both Erythritol and Stevia in it and the two together make a good sweetness.

I believe it is a sugar alcohol. Has no calories, and no sugar to metabolize. In that way, I guess it is similar to maltitol, but it agrees with my tummy just fine, whereas maltitol does not. I have not heard of any negative health effects from erythritol. I believe it is not considered "artificial" in the way that sucralose, aspartame, and saccharine are.

Hi Mike, Here is your answer and maybe more than you asked for but hope is helpful...I find more info is usually much better than too little!... Two ingredients: Erythritol & Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) Both are zero on glycemic index. Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit) tastes much more like sugar whereas Stevia an herb (Rebiana leaves,a chrysanthemum relative) has just a little bit of an aftertaste. Erythritol, a type of sugar alcohol, is absorbed into your blood stream, but does not readily enter any of your body's cells and is usually excreted through your urine. It does not tend to cause gastric distress like Sorbitol, Xylitol or particularly Malitol. I like to mix the ratio of 2 parts Demerara Sugar, 1 part Great Value Zero calorie sweetener (Erythritol & Stevia), & 1 part Lakanto. Excellent combination of taste and very little real sugar. Saves money using some Stevia (the Lakanto is quite expensive but great stuff). Stevia in the Raw brand is more expensive than the Great Value. Also it has Dextrose and Maltodextrin listed in the ingredients. Bad stuff. Dextrose is simply a form of glucose. Maltodextrin is a GMO corn derivative with an extremely high glycemic index of 150 produced from rice, potato or corn starch. It is known to contain MSG and it doesn't need to state that on the ingredient label. Monk Fruit in the Raw also has either Dextrose or Maltodextrin or both. Both Stevia in the Raw and Monkfruit in the Raw on the box make it seem as if they do not contain other stuff, but on the product label and packets, it shows the bad stuff.

Truvia is a blend of stevia and erythritol so the flavors are very similar. Truvia has the stevia "bite" in the aftertaste, but it is far less than straight stevia. Both are excellent tasting sweeteners.

Sorry can't answer about either, my wife once told me about taking royal jelly however she is not a regular user of either and I found the granules to my liking. My take is that a small teaspoon daily or at least every other day to give you system to cultivate the benefits would be good. Suggest buying a little of each and test them to your liking and do some research about each also so you can know not only how to administer it to yourself but what you want to get from it.

Label says 3g. All of that coming from the "sugar alcohol", which is the erythritol. (But these carbs are not "net". They pass through the blood and out of the body).

While I can see a difference in granulated garlic and garlic powder I am not sure there is any difference as this is like a powdered texture. The taste is on the sweeter side. I love this brand and have been using it for a couple years.

I highly doubt there is much difference at all. When I order mine always comes from overseas but the shipping is really fast and the product is top quality. My daughters anemia is almost gone after taking this supplement in a months time. We are very happy with it.

Yes, you can use erythritol in baking, but remember that it is 70% less sweet than sugar. However, I combine it with a small amount of organic whole sugar because the end product just comes out better. Also, erythritol dissolves in hot water, but will recrystallize at room temp, so it doesn't work in beverages (ie. ice tea, or simple syrup).

It looks like the same product in the tubs, but not 100% positive. The tubs contain granules and is not in liquid form.
