Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener with Erythritol - Raw Cane Sugar Substitute, Zero Calorie, Keto Diet Friendly, Zero Net Carbs, Coffee, Tea, Baking, Extract, Sugar Replacement (Golden - 5 lb)

Very pleased to have found this sweetener. No calories and has NO aftertaste! It seems to take a little more ti sweeten my coffee, but worth it. I got the 'Golden' because it pors nicely and resembles turbonado sugar.

I live in a very small town in northern Nevada where we only have 2 grocery stores so I love being able to get my favorite products from Amazon online and this is one that I'll be purchasing regularly. I hate using granulated sugar for anything and have come pretty close to completely eliminating it's use in my home. I was very excited when I was able to start buying some products made with Stevia sweetener and when I was able to just buy Stevia to use in drinks and for cooking, but I hate the aftertaste and always have to mix some kind of sweetener with the Stevia. When I tasted the Monk fruit sweetener for the first time, I was so very pleased because there was no aftertaste. In fact, I used the Monk fruit as the second sweetener with Stevia to decrease the aftertaste of the Stevia and it worked very well. This second package of Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener All Natural Sugar is even better than the first package. They have two different versions: Golden (the one that I bought) that is referred to as a brown sugar substitute and Classic White which is referred to as a white sugar substitute. Since I've used more brown sugar than white in recent years, I decided to get the Golden version and I will continue to order that since the taste is so delicious and light. It is great to have an all natural sweetener that can be used for anything I need to sweeten without adding any other type of sweetener. Because I've spent the last 5 years trying to sharply decrease the use of sugar, I have learned to use only about half of the suggested amount of sweetener in recipes, but I'm finding that items I'm making now with the Monk fruit sweetener are much better tasting than what I've been making. I also have NOT experienced any kind of GI upset since using the Monk fruit sweetener. I do know that some diabetic candies made with certain sweeteners (sugar alcohol?) can really upset your GI system, but I have had no problems with the Monk fruit. If I still had kids around that I was cooking and baking for, I'd be just as happy to use the Monk fruit, in fact, I'd be happier using this product rather than anything else. If you can cut out as much sugar as possible from anyone's diet, regardless of age, it will help improve their health and help them really enjoy the natural sweetness of fruit (when I was growing up, my mother had to sprinkle all food with either salt or sugar and it took awhile for me to break that habit when I left home). If you haven't tried this product, I would urge everyone to try it - especially if you are using any sugar substitutes that are not all natural or if you have diabetes and must eliminate sugar. Yes, it is more expensive than buying regular sugar, but what is the cost to your health from eating that? I consider the cost of the Monk fruit sweetener to be acceptable because it is a great substitute and so beneficial to my health.

It has a very nice and rich brown sugar taste.

Love this stuff yes it is pricey but its worth it no calories and it tastes like sugar and it dissolves just like sugar

Lakanto golden is a one-to-one replacement for brown sugar, so can be used in the same amount, and it tastes excellent. However, it is unclear what percentage of monkfruit is in the mix of erythritol and monk fruit. Monkfruit is a safe and valuable ingredient, while erythritol, in frequent amounts, has been shown to have a correlation with an increased risk of stroke. If you don't use this frequently, and only in small amounts, it is a wonderful option. However, I'd rather find a beneficial sweetener, like allulose or monkfruit, that tastes and works like brown sugar, without the potential for negative side effects.

I have been using Lakanto white and golden Monk Fruit. I find it a good replacement for regular sugar. There is a small taste difference but boy is it sweet!

Very good product with no aftertaste. Have used it for years now.

The best sugar substitute tastes just like regular sugar. It's one of the most natural products I've ever bought; I've been buying it for many years.

Muy buen edulcorante!

It is not sweet at all and leave after tast like soup. You cannot consume it in tea or cake because of it's taste.It was very disappointing because it is very expensive and I bought it to get a high quality taste .But now I will get rid of it because of its so awful taste.

In my opinion, monk fruit sweeteners are by far one of the best, if not the best natural sweeteners you can buy. There is no aftertaste, and the fact that it taste pretty much like sugar for no negative effects is a win in my book. Obviously with any alternative to the real thing, its not going to taste 1:1, not matter how hard anyone tries. This comes real close and I am now a fan!

Es un excelente endulzante para sustituir el azúcar. Apto para personas diabéticas

Es muy buen producto, solo lo uso para mi café. Desde mi experiencia endulza menos que la azúcar morena común, así que se requiere poner un poco mas.
