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.

This taste better then the other versions. Trying to drink less stevia products. This taste better then the other monk fruit products.

Amazingly expensive and not nearly as sweet or effective at sweetening as NuNaturals Pure Stevia Extract. I have to use 2 or 3 times the amount of this monk fruit to begin to approximate the sweetness of the stevia extract. It was a nice experiment, but I would consider this a waste of my money. I'll use what I have - eventually - but don't plan to go the way of monk fruit sweeteners again. *Update: I've discovered that this is an ideal sweetener to use with chocolate, especially when combined with stevia or sucralose, both known for creating a bitter taste in chocolate. I find that this product pretty much nullifies any bitterness from the other sweeteners. It also seems to be synergistic when used in combo with stevia extract, particularly in baking. I will have to say that I no longer consider this purchase a waste of my $ and am actually quite glad I got it. I've upgraded my rating to reflect this, but still only 4 star because of the price.

Great product. I use stevia a lot, but my wife can't stand the after taste so I use this product, which she likes. Its not sugar so it does have a different taste and a slight after taste, but cream based foods will cover any aftertaste so I use it in whip cream, cream cheese, cereal, and ice cream. Best no calorie, sugar substitute with least amount of aftertaste. It is pricey, but I'm sure that has to do with the amount of monk fruit available to process, however 1 bottle has lasted me over a year.

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.

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.

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.
