My favorite monkfruit product so far. I have tried two different liquid brands and have settled on this one for both flavoring drinks and baking. If you try baking with it, be aware that the sweetness seems to multiply with quantity. What I mean by that is, if a recipe calls for a cup of cane sugar (insert mathematical conversions, eg 6 tsp = 1 C), you do not simply add six teaspoons of this powder. I'm sure it has to do with volume: sugar granules are less tightly packed than is this fine powder, so you need fewer teaspoons to equal a cup of cane sugar. I recommend adding one teaspoon at a time and tasting your batter in between each one. BE AWARE: this is not anything like cane sugar. This is very much like the first time you try any alternative milk after an entire life of whole cow milk: it's gonna be different! If you buy this sweetener, in any brand and in any form, and you anticipate the same cane sugar flavor, you will be sorely disappointed. It is sweet, but not glucose or fructose kinda sweet. This is a different animal altogether, and that is why I use it: my body cannot process those sugars anymore, but i love something sweet now and again. After an adjustment to this new flavor, I make hot chocolate with it every day, and I really love it. How lucky, to be able to have a sweet treat that doesn't send my blood sugar into a wild ride! I am very, very grateful that this fruit exists. I really hope it doesn't turn out that using it causes cancer or something. That's a joke! I hope. :)

I switched from regular sugar to this in my tea, mainly to cut down on sugar in my daily routine. At first, I wasn't sure how much to use, so the taste felt a bit off in the beginning. After a few tries, I figured out the right amount that works for me, and now it feels pretty normal. It mixes well in hot tea and doesn't leave any grainy texture behind. I just add a small pinch, stir, and it's ready. The sweetness feels steady as long as I don't overdo it. Now it's become a simple part of my routine. I don't have to think much about it anymore, and it's been an easy switch overall.

Very good substitute for sugar. I’ve been using for two years and dropped a lot of weight. It took about 3 days of drinking a cup of coffee or tea with it to get used to the flavor, but all you need is a tiny bit because it’s very sweet. Best part is you don’t get the added calories from the sugar and the added cravings for more sugar. It’s a God sent natural sweeten and the only sweetener I use. It’s a bit expensive since but again, it has a tiny spoon inside and that’s all you need. Add more if needed. And No, it does not have a funky smell. It dissolves easily when you stir it in whatever you’re having like anything else.

I was making a granola recipe from the Braindocs , Dean and Ayesha Sherzai (who wrote the 30-Day Alzheimer’s Solution). Also, I was interested in trying this natural non-nutritive sweetener. There is a great research article from 2021 “Physiochemical and microbiological characteristics of camel milk yogurt as influenced by monk fruit sweetener.” That touts some serious benefits of monk fruit related to the prevention of asthma, diabetes, oxidation, etc. Note I have zero interest in camel yogurt specifically. Nonetheless, there was some positive benefits to monk fruit that were worth trying. Monk fruit is very sweet and I have yet to figure out the precise amount to use for me. It does have a bit of an aftertaste. However, I believe that is because I used too much. I have used it more sparingly recently. I chose this monk fruit extract because it didn’t contain erythritol. Additionally, I am happy that it is organic. This amount will probably last me a very long time.

Giving up sugar in beverages can be a challenging task. To ensure the replacement doesn't raise your triglycerides, a little research is necessary. Finding a substitute that doesn't have an aftertaste means going through several options to find the best one for you. Pure Monk Fruit has been my best find. Plus, understanding that many of the other Monk Fruit products have heaps of corn fill, just a filler with very little Monk Fruit in the product! This pure Monk Fruit may seem expensive, but it's actually quite affordable. 1/8th of a teaspoon is equivalent to two teaspoons of sugar. I agree with others; I bought a short spice jar, filled it with the powder, and have a teaspoon with a long handle, which is much better than digging in the bag. Anyhow, I love the stuff, no aftertaste for me. The coffee and teas may commence!

I was looking for an alternative for sugar. I tried several brands and never found one. I usually drink 2 to 4 cups of coffee in the morning. I usually added 2 heaping tablespoons full of sugar to each cup. Now, I use one miniature scoop which is provided by this company. Warning, this is super fine....any air movement will affect it. When you first get it, you will think their is nothing in the bag. I promise you, even as much as I drink. I still have a lot left 6 months later. At one small scoop per cup. The first could days I noticed a small flavor change. But, the sweetness i needed was there even with such a small scoop. I transferred mine into a glass food container "with a spoon slowly" as too not see it blown all over. If you want to cut down, or trying to eliminate sugar...look no further!

Good but too sweet for me.

Excellent sugar substitute with a faint caramel taste! I love it! Only four stars because the price creates an unnecessary barrier to entry. The quantity seems fine, a little goes a long way, but $25+ to try something different is a bit of a turn off. They should consider making a smaller sized bag that skeptical buyers can purchase for a cheaper price.
