I would like to make a Stevia/Erythritol blend to equate it to sugar. Has anyone played with the measurements to make a cup-for-cup substitute to sugar?

Can you please explain why? Erythritol can be used 1:1 with a slightly less sweet taste and no after taste. It also does not cause any of the stomach ailments other sugars do. I also use it with liquid stevia such as vanilla or lemon and just add a bit of extra flour or cut back a dropper full of liquid. Hope that helps. I haven't found a good brown sugar substitute yet though with erythritol. Maybe someone else has?

Hi there, This is Jeff from ISN. Currently Red Leaf has just a pinch of sucralose (90mg). We don't have immediate plans to reformulate, however we are experimenting with monk fruit for the future. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for your interest. Best regards, Jeff ISN

I have to be honest and tell you that I threw out this particular package after putting the erythritol in another container. The other brand I have in the cabinet (Wholesome sweeteners Zero) says 6g. As long as the ingredients list reads erythritol only (no other additives or mixes of sugar subs), I am not picky about brands. I go for good price and prime eligibility. That said, if you do some research on sugar alcohols, you will find that the carbs are considered negligible for erythritol. It does not affect blood sugar levels (non-glycemic). It is absorbed in the intestines but comes out almost unchanged. BTW, I use 1 tablespoon (like things sweet) in my morning coffee (giant cup), and it definitely has the laxative effect some sources indicate.:-)

Ingredients are stevia and erythritol, details of which can be found on Internet. Serving size is to taste - very sweet - just a pinch to sweeten hot drinks. Otherwise use as stevia, but I find that Stevita does not have the aftertaste that pure stevia has. Nutrition label on right hand side, but tells you nothing as everything, including calories is 0.

1 teaspoon of stevia extract powder is equal to 1 cup of sugar. If you have more sour foods it may take a little more. Hope this was helpful. Thanks.

Dear D. Honestly, I don't know. I know that Erythritol is described as sugar alcohol, but in reading more about it, it isn't exactly that. It is derived from fruit. I don't know how it is processed. It isn't as sweet as sugar, but when you are someone like myself who is getting sugar out of the diet, it does provide a little bit of sweetness. I know that doesn't answer your question exactly, but I hope it helps some. I use it because it doesn't raise my blood sugar level.

This is loose powder. I have found that this product does not have as strong an aftertaste as some other alternative sweeteners. However, this will depend on how much you use. You cannot use this product to replace sugar, cup-for-cup, as it is sweeter than sugar, and will overpower your recipe if you do so. I don't use more than 1/4--1/2 cup and that depends on what I'm making; I've used less at times. Hope this helps!

I have not used Truvia which is primarily the sugar alcohol erythritol plus rubiana and natural flavors parading around as stevia (which I do use.) I do also use xylitol ( sugar alcohol) which tastes very similar to sugar. If Truvia tastes like sugar, then there would be no difference in taste since sugar alcohols mimic the sweetness of sugar rather well.

I just made strawberry using Stevia. I almost didn't need any sweetener, but, yes it works just fine. I also made apple cider jelly with Splenda that also works fine. The nice thing about the instant pectin is that you can always add more the next day to get the consistency you want, without having to boil like with the regular or low/no sugar method.

I have used with sugar using the lower sugar recipe and also with Splenda. My husband like the sugar in his jam and I would rather not. There are instructions on the container for the low sugar recipe. This is a good buy compared to the stores in my area. Thanks for the question and good luck:)

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 cant help you with that I only use it as a sugar replacement !!! The price of this stevia is cheap enough to try it with.

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.

I personally only use liquid Stevia for sweetening beverages. It can be substituted for sugar for baking but you would need to add a bulking agent to your recipe to compensate for sugar volume. If I were using Stevia to bake with, I would use the powder form instead of the liquid because I find it to be cheaper. This is the exchange for sugar to Stevia: for 1 cup of sugar substitute 1 teaspoon of undiluted stevia powder or 1 teaspoon of a liquid stevia extract. For each 1 cup of sugar substituted, use 1/3 cup of a bulking agent. Healthier bulking agents include egg whites, apple sauce, fruit puree or yogurt.

for simple conversions like that, your best bet is to type "convert ___ to ____" into google....just switch out the first blank for the unknown measure (in your situation, first put in "1 cup" then "1 tablespoon" then 1 teaspoon") and put the desired unit of measure in the second blank (in your case, "ml"). This will give you instant results.
