NOW FoodsCertified Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder, Zero Calorie Sweetener, Large Bottle for Serving Scoop, Certified Non-GMO, 0.7-Ounce

I've been using this product for years and have been happy with it. I use it in my tea, coffee, yogurt, etc and it tastes great and dissolves easily. Its also PURE Monks Fruit...not additives like other products.

I’ve bought this particular brand of artificial sweeteners three times so far, and I’m really pleased with it. It’s made from pure monk fruit extract, with no added erythritol or other fillers. Because it’s purely monk fruit, it’s incredibly potent—about 100 to 200 times sweeter than regular sugar. The package is small, only 0.7oz (20g). Since the sweetener is so concentrated, I find it tricky to measure with my food scale, as the smallest increment it can measure is 1g. To make it easier to use, I dilute the monk fruit extract by mixing it with 600g of water, creating a simple syrup. Once it’s diluted, the taste is remarkably close to that of natural sugar—sweet, smooth, and not artificial in any way. For my coffee, I typically use around 5g of the syrup per cup, which gives just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the flavor of the coffee.

This is a composite review of three monk fruit products.Amazon.com : It's Just - 100% Monkfruit Extract Powder, Keto Friendly Sweetener, Monk Fruit, Sugar-Free, Non-GMO, 25% Mogrosides, Non-Glycemic, 1.5oz : Grocery & Gourmet FoodI have purchased this product 12 times since 2020. I was looking for a low/no glycemic sweetener that also was not harsh on the gut biome. Only pure monk fruit and stevia seem to fit those requirements. Many of the monk fruit and stevia sweeteners available in stores are mixed with erythritol, which can have a negative effect on the beneficial bacteria in one’s gut. I did also try the drops, but the package and dispensing was just not user friendly. Also required a lot of drops to taste any sweetness.This powder does take some getting used to using. I really only use it to sweeten my brewed cacao drink. It mixes better in warm or hot liquids. I usually let it sit and brew in the french press with the ground cacao.I dislike the packaging. The zippered bag is never zipped properly therefore not sealing the powder below the tear off point, so when you open it the first time there is sticky powder that goes everywhere. I also dislike leaving it in the original packaging because it’s a pain and a mess to deal with. I now transfer this into a dark tinted wide mouth half pint jar. I also think the little measuring spoon sent in the package is an annoyance and a waste. This would be better off in a container like the Clabber Girl baking powder.Appearance is fine, pure white powder.Overall, 4.5 stars for the product itself. 2.5 stars for packaging.This is currently priced at $15.30 per oz—-----------Amazon.com: NOW Foods, Certified Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder, Zero Calorie Sweetener, Large Bottle for Serving Scoop, Certified Non-GMO, 0.7-Ounce : Grocery & Gourmet FoodI decided to give this product a try. Just the listing alone gave me hope that the packaging would be friendlier. The container is almost exactly the same as what you would find in the herbs and spice aisle at a grocery store. Flip top cap with a pour and a sprinkle option. I disliked that my measuring spoons were a little awkward getting in and out. I would like a shorter container with a wider lid, or a bigger size all together. This would almost be worth carrying in your purse if you wanted to have a monk fruit sweetener with you.Taste was excellent. To my palette it was twice as sweet as the “It’s Just” product, so less goes further.Appearance is fine, pure white powder.5 stars for the product. 3.5 stars for the packagingThis is currently priced at $29.71 per oz, so value is roughly equal to the “It’s Just” brand—--------Amazon.com: Smart Monk - 100% Monkfruit Extract, Non-Glycemic, Zero Calorie, Sugar-Free Monk Fruit Sweetener (3oz / 85g) : Grocery & Gourmet FoodPackaging for the win! This is the perfect leave at home on the counter or in the pantry package. No spills in shipment, and no difficulty getting to the monk fruit powder. Container is a tub with a screw cap, 3.5” in diameter, 2.75” tall.Taste is definitely not as good as either of the other products. It is about as sweet as the “It’s Just” monk fruit, but it has a bit of an aftertaste. I will finish the container, but I will not buy it again.Appearance is fine, yellowish powder.2.5 stars for the product. 5 stars for the packaging.This is currently priced at $13.71 per oz. This product has the best value for weight.

Great as usual

This is a good safe sugar replacement and it is very potent so, unlike some other sugar replacements, you don't have to put in a whole lot to get a sweet taste. My only issues are that it sometimes does not dissolve well in hot coffee and stays in small clumps and the taste is not as good as sucralose but certainly for those of us who like sweet coffe and tea it is better than using tons of sugar.

I use this in my coffee and tea everyday. It doesn't have an after taste like some other sugar replacements, it's zero calories, and doesn't raise my blood sugar. It dissolves easily. I haven't tried using it for baking because it's a tiny spoon and it doesn't come with instructions for how to use it for that, but I'm not a big baker so will try using it eventually.

Hi, I don’t usually write reviews. But having taste this I think it warrants it. Sometimes you can’t reinvent the wheel. I am a cook and a baker who does not use any white sugar and haven't in years. Depending on the recipe I will use coconut sugar, regular monkfruit and Stevia powder. My baked goods taste sweet but nothing like store bought which is too sweet. I thought I would try the monkfruit without ethanol.Well I can honestly say after reading the reviews and tasting it I agree with some. I used very little and wasn’t impressed. It does have a bit of an after taste but so doesn’t regular monkfruit.I will tell you for my biscuit recipe that I have been making for over 20 years and comes out perfect every time. I just used coconut sugar about a 1/2 cup. I changed things.this time, big mistake! I used regular brown sugar. I used 1/4 cup, recipe called for 3/4 , then I used the little spoon for one spoonful. Nobody can tell the difference, however since my taste buds are more acute I could taste the difference. So for those who use regular sugar and use a combo of pure Monkfruit it could be too sweet.I think I will just go back to my tried and true. My review would be thumbs down. Don’t waste your money.

You can use it as a sugar substitute when baking. In a cake, 1 teaspoon will have the same sweetness of somewhere between 1/2 cup and1 cup of sugar.Be aware that it's not sweet if you eat it straight. I has to be thoroughly mixed with something wet, like tea or cake batter.
