Erythritol (Pure Polyol) vs. Maple Syrup (100% Pure Grade A)
Comparing 2 standards across 10 specifications. 10 key differences identified.
Comparing:
Erythritol (Pure Polyol)
Maple Syrup (100% Pure Grade A)
Erythritol is a 4-carbon sugar alcohol (polyol) produced via yeast fermentation. It possesses 70% the sweetness of sucrose with virtually zero calories (0.24 kcal/g), a glycemic index of 0, zero net effective carbs, and superior gastrointestinal tolerance.
Pure Grade A maple syrup is thermal reduction sap from sugar maples (Acer saccharum). Per 100g, it delivers 260 kcal, 67.0g carbohydrates (60g sucrose), 0g fat, 212mg potassium, 102mg calcium, and a glycemic index of 54.
