Q: Does sugar-free Kaju Katli have an aftertaste?

The blend is built to avoid the bitter note of plain stevia. Erythritol can give a light cooling feel on the tongue for some people; most of our customers say the katli tastes like the halwai version.

Q: Is the erythritol in sugar-free Kaju Katli safe?

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in fruits like grapes and pears, made for food by fermentation. As Aarti explains in What's the Safest Sugar Alternative for Diabetics?, about 90% of it passes through the body unchanged. Large amounts can upset the stomach in sensitive people, and research on high intakes is ongoing, so moderation matters; we cover the evidence in The Truth About Erythritol. If you have a specific medical condition, check with your doctor.
