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. :)

very good product I love the taste and I use it a lot I am always buying more I definitely recommend it.

Well worth the wait and price! This product tastes just like cane sugar, which makes it pretty nice. My hands felt sticky and messy when I was scooping out the powder, so I placed it in a glass container. Also I liked how it really enhanced all my drinks. A little goes a long way so I just add 1 spoonful of it to my beverages and I am all done for the day. Though it takes some time to dissolve in cold drinks, it blends very easily when added to hot beverages. Overall, there isn't an aftertaste, so I plan on buying more in the future.

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.

Something changed significantly with Monk Fruit extract products in recent months, specifically this one but I have read reviews for competing brands on Amazon. The bitter levels have increased while the sweetness decreased. Issues previously caused by artificial sweeteners like stomach problems and headaches appear if you consume in high quantities. Monk fruit comes from China and these products are produced in China. I am terrified and to test this product for arsenic and lead. Just break the habit of needing sweets unless it's a ripe piece of fruit.

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.

This product is super fine, powdery, and sticky. I don’t really care what others say, but this leaves a noticeable aftertaste on my buds. The powder is super sweet and only requires a small amount to sweeten your beverage, making it a convenient choice. I only used it in warm drinks, so dissolving it was not a problem. I wanted something all-natural, organic, and with no calories to sweeten my evening tea, and this does the trick. However, I can’t get over the aftertaste, and it is a sticky mess to use unless you're super careful. I’ll probably return to the Erythritol/stevia or monk fruit blend.

So I was pleasantly surprised by this product. It was sweet and the aftertaste was actually slightly reminiscent of brown sugar. Of course I do think the cost is quite high but given that it's 100% monk fruit and not mixed with any other sweetener I think it's a fair enough deal given that you truly only need a little bit of it and it goes a long way. Given that it is not mixed with other sweeteners it means that it clumps up a little when putting it in my coffee but that's easily solved by using the back of a spoon to kind of break it apart. Also I have noticed that if you let the coffee (that's what I used it for primarily so far, not sure about other things) sit a little bit, it actually gets sweeter with time. So don't jump the gun and put too much thinking it's not sweet enough, let it sit a bit and it will naturally get sweeter. Maybe it just takes some time to fully mix in but it isn't a big deal. All in all I am pleased with the product.
