Organic erythritol : the secret ingredient that allows INTI to be almost ginger-sugar-free-comparative-brands-2026">sugar-free

In the INTI ingredient list you will find “organic erythritol”. Many people wonder what it is. Here is the full answer.

What is erythritol?

Theerythritol is a polyol (liver-protect-gingembre-ledemain-fete-2026">sugar alcohol) naturally present in certain fermented fruits such as pears, melons and grapes. It is also produced in the human body in small amounts during glycolysis.

Commercially, organic erythritol is obtained by natural fermentation glucose by specific yeasts — a 100% biological process, without chemical solvents.

Nutritional properties of erythritol

• Glycemic index: 0 — does not affect the ginger blood sugar
• Calories: ~0.2 kcal/g (vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar)
• Sweetening power: 60-70% of sucrose
• Absorbed in the small intestine, eliminated intact in the urine
• Does not cause dental caries (approved by dentists)

Why does INTI choose organic erythritol and not stevia?

Stevia often leaves a bitter or licorice aftertaste that masks the natural flavors of ginger and turmeric-black-pepper-synergy-benefits">turmeric. Erythritol has a more neutral taste profile which lets the natural flavors express themselves fully.

Plus, organic erythritol fits best in a plant-based formulation — it's certifiable organic, unlike many intensive sweeteners.
