Cukerin

Cukerin is a saccharin-based sweetener that has been used in Czech and Slovak households since the 20th century. It is most commonly available in the form of small tablets or drops. Cukerin contains no calories, making it popular among people monitoring their calorie intake or managing diabetes. It is approximately 300-500 times sweeter than regular sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed to achieve the desired sweetness. It is suitable for hot beverages such as coffee or tea, and for cold desserts. At higher temperatures the taste may turn slightly bitter, so it is not recommended for baking or cooking.
