Product Description
THE COOK’s TOUR
Didn’t think sweeteners could be guilt free? The secret to Swerve’s zero-calorie sweetness is a combination of erythritol and oligosaccharides.
Erythritol is made by fermenting glucose with Moniliella pollinis, a natural microorganism. It’s also naturally occuring in many fruits and vegetables like melons, grapes and asparagus. Erythritol is classified by the FDA as a zero-calorie, 4-carbon sugar alcohol that does not affect blood glucose.
Oligosaccharides are sweet, non-digestible carbohydrates sourced from select fruits and starchy root vegetables. Oligosaccharides are prebiotic fibers, so they’re not only tasty, but they can help stimulate beneficial bacteria in your gut.
Swerve happens to be a small, independently owned company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana.

THE CARE NOTE
Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to prevent clumping. Avoid exposure to humidity. For best texture in baking, blend or dissolve fully, as erythritol can recrystallize when cooled.
MY TAKE
This is one of the few sugar substitutes that behaves close enough to the real thing to be useful. It is not perfect, the recrystallization issue is real, but within its lane, it performs. Treat it as a functional substitute, not a flawless replacement.
