Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener, .71 oz

I’ve tried so many different monk fruit products and many of them are poor quality, and that they are mixed with fillers or other sweeteners and so were not pure or were not refined enough, and therefore not that sweet and also very sticky and hard to dissolve. This product is perfect. In my opinion it dissolves in hot and cold beverages, has a pure flavor, and is highly concentrated. So even though it does have a high price compared to other monk fruit products, it is highly concentrated and pure, so in my opinion, it is worth it and it goes along way. I do wish there was an option to buy it a bigger package simply for efficiency but aside from that it’s really my favorite.

Medical studies have proven that it contains one kind of sweetener that is more than 300 times sweeter than cane sugar. More importantly, it produces no calories, which is why I love it. Its one of the best sugar substitutes for those who can’t eat sugar, for example patients of obesity and diabetes. I had a very sore throat, with excessive coughing and flem. My friend gave me some dried lo han guo. By evening, I was feeling so much better. My sore throat had cleared, flem disappeared, though still coughing (dry), but not as much. The taste is sweet, but with a different after taste which is very bearable for me, as I grew up drinking all sorts of strange teas my mother had boiled up for my family health benefits. This product purchased dried is not expensive and I do highly recommend it to those with symptoms of cold, flu, sore throat, cough, flemy cough respiratory likes. I love chinese herbs and medicines. They are so natural and so much beneficial than the western like medicines. The only thing is they can take just a little bit more effort to prepare and take, but so worth it.

Finally, a Monk Fruit sweetener with no erythrito which I have learned is really bad for your body. A little goes a very long way but no nasty after aftertaste. Quite expensive, no actually very expensive, but you only need a tiny bit at a time. Like 1/8 of a tsp for coffee, 1/4 at most for cold or hot cereal. I will definitely buy again. I would recommend using a mustard size spoon, which I have done and use the mustard spoon a lot more for the Monk Fruit than I ever did for hot mustard.

Tried this for the first time in my coffee and in a smoothie. The taste is pretty good as no-cal sweeteners go. I wanted to find a "natural" sweetener that was good enough, and this is. I like it better than Stevia (which is expensive, too). This says a serving is 1/16th tsp (who can measure that?). I used about 1/8 tsp in my coffee (20 ounce cup), and it was maybe just slightly too sweet for my taste (and I like my coffee fairly sweet). So, their approximation of a serving is pretty close. 500+ servings for $28 isn't bad. How to use this for baking, I don't know. Getting the right dosage might be hard. Has a slight after taste, but not bad and better than that of Stevia (IMHO). Update April 2016 -- This lasted me 7 months, so considering that the cost is reasonable. I don't use it that much, though; only in my coffee.

I'm a big fan of Monk Fruit Sweetner, it's helped me with dieting for weight loss and even use it when fasting, to sweeten the water a bit, makes a big difference and lets you say no to sugar without turning to questionable chemical alternatives or funky tasting natural aleternatives. Monk Fruit is sweet like sugar, really good stuff. I've been buying it for years on Amazon in the liquid form, getting the largest bottle, using just a drop or two to sweeten coffee, a bit more for hot cocoa, etc. And it usually lasts for at least a couple of months, sometimes three. But it's not cheap and I always thought I could find a more cost-efficient way, so I tried this. But guess what? No way, Jose! I found I have to use a lot more of the powder form of this product than I did the drops, and so this expensive bottle of powder form monk fruit was getting to the bottom before a month was out. And ya know what? The drops taste so much better, sweeter, more like pure cane sugar.

First off you have to realize this is a sugar substitute. So for all the complainers about the taste all sugar substitutes have an after taste. At first I wasn't sure about the after taste it wasn't that bad just different. I've been using this product for several weeks and no longer notice any after taste. Its not yummy like my honey was but since I have to watch my sugar intake this is a great option. I will warn you a little goes a long way. I covered 2 of the three holes because too much would come out and it would be tooooooooooooo sweet for me to drink. So for the first week it took some time to figure out how much I needed in my coffee and tea. I will be purchasing again whenever it runs out. But this is so sweet for such a tiny amount that might be next year. Money saver if you ask me.

Love this stuff. Tastes great and only takes a very small amount (tiny measuring scoop included). If you get an after taste, then you are using too much. Because it is pure monk fruit (no additives) it is the perfect replacement for artificial sweeteners and/or natural sugars and honey that can cause glucose levels to spike. Ignore complaints about the container being half full. You get the specified amount. Container is larger to accommodate the included scoop's length and ease of use. Product is packaged with scoop sealed inside the container so it stays sterile.

Good tasting sweetener but way too expensive for me. It takes about twice as much of this to use as advertised. I use stevia, powder form, and use maybe 1/8 of a teaspoon for my coffee and this was supposed to be 1/64 of a teaspoon. Nope! I need to use almost the same amount of the Monk Fruit powder as the Stevia powder, so for the price, I will continue to use the stevia.
