But you said it yourself, the reason to add it is for flavor.
Whether you like it or not, flavor is an incredibly important part of food and eating. Arguably the most important.
As somebody who eats strict keto. There's tons of flavors out there, that aren't sugar-based. Basically any recipe from before 1900 adds tons of flavor without sugar.
Sugar is addictive, so it's extremely popular in cooking, especially restaurant food.
Except for cakes and cookies and pies and brownies and sorbets and ice creams and truffles and caramels and creme brulees and any number of delicious desserts which have all called for sugar for centuries
I've eaten plenty of keto treats because half the people I've dated in the last ten years have been keto... I'll tell ya this, monkfruit extract, stevia, xylitol, maltitol, they're all the same and they all have nothing on sugar, not even close
Yes. I hate food that pretends to be other food.
