Question 1

hi si this a good alternative for sugar in baking - is this what is used in sugar free cookies?

Accepted Answer

In my opinion, this is one of the best sugar alternatives for baking.  It is not quite as sweet as sugar.  1 cup of this is about as sweet as 2/3 cup sugar.  It also has an almost mint like cooling effect that is more pronounced in some foods.  I often combine it with stevia extract because I find it gives it the added sweetness without making the cooling effect more pronounced.Splenda is also a good option for sugar free baking, but it is not as natural as erythritol and stevia.

Question 2

Where is it made?

Accepted Answer

As of May 2, 2019, my just-delivered Anthony's Erythritol bag does not say from which plant the erythritol was derived (corn, sugar cane, or dead things in a swamp), nor does it state where the erythritol was produced (China, China, China or elsewhere in China). The bag states "batch tested and verified gluten free" and "non-GMO"; and "Manufactured for: Anthony's, 820 Thompson Unit 32, Glendale, CA 91201".

Question 3

Why is Anthony's erithritol half the price of its competitors? Is the quality lacking in some way shape or form? Additives?

Accepted Answer

I order the 5 lb bag every month. It is not inferior in any way. As a matter of fact, I have tried a more expensive brand and went right back to Anthony's. I would imagine that they are able to keep the cost down because of the volume of sales and they have other sku's besides Erythritol and I have noticed cheaper than their competitors on almost everything they sell. I follow a Keto diet and not one time has my blood glucose risen. I try not to be a Brand snob but I am and use their products all the time!

Question 4

Is this stuff high-heat stable, that is, can it be used in canning?

Accepted Answer

I know I bought it for cooking and baking because the other product didn't allow baking with it, You will need to adjust the amount that you use.  I would try using sugar raito to erythritol and taste to make certain that its to your tasting.
