Durelife Organic 100% Pure Monk Fruit sweetener, No Erythritol, Monkfruit Ext...

I had been using Splenda until I saw the recent studies that it can cause digestive problems. Upon further research it looks like all of the synthetic sugar substitutes cause some sort of problem or another. I decided to try this and I am very pleased. There is a very slight bitter aftertaste but I adapted to it after about a week of use and now don't notice it at all. It is much much sweeter than sugar, 1/8 tsp of monk fruit equals one teaspoon of sugar. So even though it is definitely pricier than sugar or splenda the bag goes a long long way! The bag is resealable so it doesn't need to be shifted to another container for storage. I'm extremely pleased with the monk fruit extract and will continue to use it!

I drink a lot of iced tea, I make it by the gallon using teabags from Ireland (bought on Amazon) Barry's Tea Master Blend. The Irish teabags hold more tea in them and it is a good black tea, strong. I need a strong tea as when I pour it over ice it gets diluted. However I like a sweet iced tea as well. I switched from sugar with peach syrup to Monk fruit with erythritol and peach syrup. Most monk fruit sold is a mix with something else, I used the mix with erythritol, but then I read an research article that says, watch out, erythritol thickens your blood and it stays in your body for a very very long time. So then I went on a search for pure monk fruit and tried Durelife pure monk fruit powder. I LOVE this stuff. What I do is make a syrup out of it, I use one tablespoon of Monk Fruit to one cup of boiling water. I mix a 4 cup syrup batch at a time, I use one cup in my gallon of iced tea and store the other three cups in a glass jar in the refrigerator. I add 2/3 of a cup of peach syrup to my brewed and cooled down (luke warm) with the 1 cup of Monk Fruit syrup and have a perfect low calorie gallon of iced tea. I find you need to let the brewed tea cool down to close to room temperature before adding the peach syrup or else the peach syrup flavor gets knocked out if you add it to hot tea. I know the peach syrup is adding glucose and calories but 2/3 of a cup in a gallon works down to not all that much in a glass and I so enjoy that peach flavor in my iced tea. I can't praise this product enough, it has really really improved my life. 1 Table spoon of this monk fruit powder mixed into a cup of boiling water, use a whisk to mix it throughly and boom you are done. It dissolves really well with a slight bit of whisking. Just a few strokes with the whisk and the powder fully dissolves into the boiling water. Although the price per bag seems pricey, one bag is going to last me a long long long time at one tablespoon for one cup of boiling water, so actually it is not all that expensive in the long run. I am picky, I do not like any other artificial sweeteners and I have tried them all. I LOVE Monk Fruit, it does not leave a bad taste in your mouth like the other ones do, because it is fruit it only leaves a very slight pleasant fruity flavor in your mouth. The after taste is very very very slight and I like it, it is fruity. Just a hint of fruit is how I would describe it. If my review is helpful consider leaving a thumbs up.

First time using monk fruit... Read reviews. Well... its very sweet, more than stated. 1/8 of a tsp is about the same as 2 heaping teaspoons of sugar, by my tea test. half of that is just right. Its sticky. You get this dust on you and it is... sticky, despite the powder being so dry and fine. Does it mix in water... no, but that's only because its so fine. use a coffee wisk or just keep stirring, itll mix in eventually. Small sacrifices for not using sugar. And the aftertaste. Well, as I read the reviews I dunno why people whine about it. It tastes like sugar, the aftertaste is not unpleasant, its sort of like the fruity aftertaste youd get from raisins or prunes, but not those flavors....its hard to explain. Its not chemical or artificial. Its just different from sugar that has none. You'll get used to it. As I can figure, it seems you get that taste moreso if you use too much. Use only half as much as you think you want, and its barely noticeable. People who whine about the size... um, its 5oz of dust. thats not much. But you use less than it suggests so, 5oz will last a lot longer than you'd think. Plus, you pay for not having to use sugar, so.... stop whining. lol

Not certain if Durelife does not know its product or if they revert to false advertising and marketing . This monk fruit is anything but pure! If you react to sugar alcohols in any way, this can happen with this product as it did with me. It is very sad one can not trust all companies and the products they sell. After reporting this to amazon I was able to purchase a dried monk fruit from an herbalist . Cracked it open and pulverized the inside as Durelife should have done or made sure it is. You can’t even compare the colors! Pure monk fruit is a darker brown, Durelife’s is a tan ( much lighter color) sickly sweet powder with the after taste of a sugar alcohol. Pure monk fruit is not hard to find and pulverize for a sweetener at a fraction of the cost compared to this adulterated product !

I like this much better than the organic stevia which is bitter tasting. This is NOT BITTER at all. It is sticky & the powder flies out when you open & close the bag, so I store it in an air tight container with a snap on/off lid to reduce the powder scattering. Also helps to open & close it over the sink.

As others have said, tastes perfect in green tea! The aftertaste of a dry pinch is mild to me. Will buy again.

This powder is extremely sweet. My original plan was to find a healthy sweetener for my coffee. The previous monkfruit sweetener had additives in it which gave me the bubble guts. Tasted great, but I had many trips to the bathroom. This pure monkfruit is extremely sweet and has more of a fruity artificial sweetener aftertaste, which I am not a fan of in my coffee. Might be better in some baking applications.

Good product. Good taste with no after taste. Very sweet start with just small amount till you reach your taste.
