Monk Fruit In The Raw Zero Calorie Sweetener, Sugar Substitute, 4.8 oz, Bag

I had been trying to lose weight without much success, and my dad suggested I try monk fruit. I'm so glad he did! This is now the only sweetener I use. It tastes great and, most importantly, it doesn't have that nasty aftertaste that so many other sugar substitutes leave behind. It sweetens well without overpowering whatever you're using it in. It is a bit pricier than some alternatives, but for me it's absolutely worth the cost. Great flavor, no aftertaste, and it fits perfectly into a healthier lifestyle.

We buy this for our homemade flavored teas and juices. I prefer just a slight sweetness to my drinks and this does that for us without the guilt. In cold water it does take a bit more effort to dissolve so I started to add it to the water when it is hot. That has helped a great deal to dissolve it. We have found that if you add too much of this (or just about any of the alternative sugars) that they have a slight bitter taste. Because we use very little we don't have that problem. If you want to try our homemade flavored tea (1 gallon). I add 1 1/2 cups of chopped fruit to 2 quarts of water, and cook it on medium low for about 45 minutes. Turn the heat off, and smash the fruit with a potato masher. Add your preferred amount of tea leaves and sugar to the hot water and cover. Let it sit on the counter until it cools, then place in the fridge overnight. The next day sieve the tea into a gallon pitcher and fill the difference with water. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed. Our favorite fruits are mangos, blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, cranberries, watermelon, blackberries and cherries. It just beats drinking plain water or soda.

As a diabetic, I use this instead of sugar to make my coleslaw dressing. I have never had anyone ever question me about using a sugar substitute. You honestly can't taste the difference.

I love the sweetness Monk Fruit sweeteners provide. It is very easy to use in place of sugar. It is convenient and does a great job. It is a little pricey but for diabetics is a wonderful choice to reduce sugar and carbohydrates in your diet.

I assumed it was going to be the granules like regular sugar. Next time I will need to pay better attentions because I like monk fruit in the raw but in Granules.

Even though I use this every day I thought it was monk fruit. I thought I liked it although I don't really notice any sweet taste to it….in order to have a sweetness to it they put in maltodextrin or some such I don't like that. I thought it was pure MONK FRUIT ~and that's the way it should be !

FILLLER FILLERS FILLERS FILLERS FILLERS, this product has more Maltodextrin that actual Monk Fruit. It's crap.. cause the Maltodextrin is toxic and spikes your blood sugar worse than regular sugar. Malo is a carbohydrate that instantly turns into a glucose that stresses the heck out of your kidneys. Who ever made the decision to put Maltodextrin in this product as a filler needs to be FIRED !!!

“In the raw” implies it is as it is, minimally processed. Or so I thought. First ingredient is Maltodextrin. It should be called “Maltodextrin with monk fruit.” I have a hard time believing that those of us looking for a healthier sweetener like monk fruit would be cool consuming mostly a highly processed, high glycemic index food like Maltodextrin. If that is what this brand needs to do to create this product, they should simply not sell it.

This is barely sweet so you have to use a lot of it and it contains maltodextrin as the main ingredient which spikes blood sugar more than sugar. This is not a good choice.

BEWARE of the other ingredient listed, Erythritol. It should not be on the market. It's a highly processed ingredient, raises your blood sugar and it's High glycemic index.
