Monk Fruit Extract Sweetener, 3.5 oz, Pure USDA Organic with No Fillers Zero Calories, Zero Carbs, Keto & Paleo Friendly Sugar Substitute, 322 Servings by NatriSweetUSDA Organic

I was worried it might have an after taste but it did not. To me it tasted like sugar cane! I just scoop with the tip of my teaspoon and it's perfect. Definitely buying again.

Using this product all the time now, it's a great way to add a lot more sweet with a little amount of volume. I bought this originally for use in baking, as I use erythritol blends (like Swerve or Lakanto), but am sensitive to the cooling effect it has when used in larger amounts. I found with this I can cut the amount of erythritol used in half, and then add in the equivalent sweetness via this powder. I have found (and tested many times to be true) that 1 serving/scoop (1/8 tsp) is equivalent to 2 teaspoons worth of sweetness. So, double what the package says.I would not advise substituting more than half in baking, as the bulk and nature of the sugar are needed in many baking recipes for reasons other than sweetness. Like for example, the granular nature of granulated sugar (or sugar substitute) is needed to cream butter, as the granules help form the air pockets that get the butter nice and fluffy and full of tiny air bubbles.Also I suggest whisking the monk fruit powder into a liquid and then adding it in, or mixing it into your sweetener of choice before adding it. Otherwise it can either poof everywhere (like powdered sugar but finer and lighter, so even more messy), or it can clump up in liquids when not incorporated first, leading to uneven distribution.Yes there is a different flavor to this, so be aware. Just like granular sugar cane sugar tastes different than honey, and they taste different than maple syrup. They're all processed from natural sources, but they all have their own specific yet sweet taste. Monk fruit also has its own distinct sweet taste, but to me an many others, it is a pleasant one. So if you go in expecting it to taste like processed sugar cane sugar, it's going to be a disappointment. Adjust your expectations for sweet but not sugar, and you will likely be much more pleased.I do find this is a little too potent to use in most drinks (like tea or coffee) or in cooking, which requires smaller amounts of sweetness. I usually use a more controllable and easier incorporated drop form for that. (I enjoy Monk Drops which can also be found here on Amazon.) But that's just my personal preference.There's a little math involved to figure out how much to use in larger amounts but it's not hard. I'll explain for those who may find it useful. After all we're trying to make substituting sugar easier, not harder :) I'm often substituting at the cups level of volume, not teaspoons. If you need to get from cups to teaspoons, start with how many Tablespoons is equivalent for what you want. For example, you want to substitute a 1/4 cup of sugar. There are 16 Tablespoons in a cup, so multiply by 16. 0.25 x 16 = 4. A quarter cup is 4 Tablespoons. There are 3 teaspoons in a Tablespoon, so multiply by 3. 4 x 3 = 12 teaspoons. Now we know that, how much monk fruit powder to use? Each 1/8 tsp = 2 tsp of sweetness. So just divide by 2. That gives you the amount of scoops/servings- in this case, 6. But of course most of us want to just measure it out in teaspoons, instead of doing 6 of the tiny 1/8 tsp scoops. So multiply by 1/8 tsp, or 0.125. 6 x 0.125 = 0.75 or 3/4 teaspoons of monk fruit powder to replace 1/4 cup of sugar/sweetness.So (ignoring order of operations) z number of cups x 16 x 3 ÷ 2 x 0.125 = teaspoons of monk fruit powder to use. Hope that helps!

Excelente producto, muy satisfecho. Muchas gracias.

I thought I would try this brand. It left an after taste that I didn't care for. It doesn't dissolve well in hot or cold.

Best monk fruit sweetener on the market. Period.

I would not buy this! The after taste is so bad it ruins the taste of anything you add it to. If I would of known you can’t return this I would not of bought it.

This tastes the best and has no erythritol… Buy it!

So, I have finally tried monk fruit and it definitely passes the test. It does sweeten your coffee. I had no problem with the taste, because it does have a taste. The main issue I have with monk fruit is the cost. It is very expensive. I had to use 2 scoops from the scooper they provided in the packet to make my coffee appropriately sweet. By comparison, with sucralose, I only use a tiny fraction of a tiny spoon. The primary reason I wanted to try monk fruit is the literature says that it does not negatively affect your gut biome. Sucralose, we are told, does. But the fact that monk fruit is incredibly expensive compared to sucralose and I only use a tiny amount of sucralose leaves me thinking I will use sucralose instead of monk fruit. I can't imagine the tiny amount of sucralose would negatively impact my gut biome.I think the person who is very concerned about the possible ramifications to their gut biome may want to use monk fruit, just to play it safe. I personally believe that is an overreaction. I don't believe a tiny amount of sucralose is going to impact your gut biome. But I don't know for sure. I am not a medical doctor.So, as shown in the ratings, I think the taste is fine. There is a taste but overall it is not negative (for me). For coffee purists, it may affect the taste enough that they would choose not to use it. But for most, it will be fine. As to use, no negatives. You have to be sure to stir it thoroughly since it does clump a bit when put in a liquid, kind of like when you add flour to water. The showstopper for me is the cost, and I'm not overly frugal. I just think it is hard to justify paying $20+ for only 3.5 ounces. Now, you may say, I've seen monk fruit costing a lot less. That is because it is not pure monk fruit. If the cost is low it is because half or more of the product is erythritol. Erythritol is awful. It is a sugar alcohol that for me and many others has a strong impact on your gut. In other words, you will be visiting the bathroom quite frequently. This doesn't happen to everyone but it happens to a lot of people. Plus erythritol is higher in calories.If monk fruit were to drop significantly in price I may consider using it regularly. But at the current price, it is simply too expensive. I will continue to use sucralose. The Hard Rhino sucralose I purchase from Amazon will last me for a year or longer.
