By: Barnaby Dorfman

About

Calorie free sugar substitute with a slight bitter flavor. Usually sold in a concetrated powder. Good for adding to drinks, fruit, yogurt, and a variety of desserts, however, aspartame is not suitable for baking because it breaks down when heated and loses much of its sweetness.
Often sold under the brand names Equal and NutraSweet.
