Durelife Organic 100% Pure Monk Fruit sweetener, No Erythritol, Monkfruit Extract Powder, USDA organic NON-GMO Project Verified, Keto Certified, OU kosher No Fillers Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute 5 OZ

This is pure monk fruit. When I look for it in local grocery stores, it always has erythritol in it. I like that just a tiny bit will sweeten my tea in the morning. This fine powder is a bit hard to mix into cold water because of surface tension. I find that if I dump it on top of the cold water and then microwave it. When it is finished, the monk fruit powder has mixed with the water, so no stirring is needed. I also use it when I make (fermented) apple cider. I like my cider sweet but don't want an extremely high alcohol content. After some experimentation, I figured out how much I need to add to a batch, so after I have that determined, I can on future batches add it before I put the yeast in. The yeast cannot digest the monk fruit, so it comes out sweet, and I don't have to stir sweetener into a finished brew.

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

I recently diagnosed with pre-diabetic. I saw this with all the hives about monk fruit. I ordered it very, very disappointed very better. Taste nasty after taste. I definitely will not recommend it or order it again I’ve added Stevia to it and added allulose to make it taste better, but no luck

I like the product bc it seems like a more pure sweetener than other artificial sweeteners which all seem to have chemicals I don’t want in the sweetener. I wanted to know how to adjust the amount compared to regular sugar in recipes .There was no good advice online or on the package. I did find one bit of information regarding amounts to use it was “ 1 1/2 cup sugar to 1/2 cup” of the monk fruit extract. OMG WAY OFF! In a recipe where I would use 1 cup of sugar I used a little less than 1/3 cup of the monk fruit and it was way too sweet. I will try 1/2 tablespoon next time. The flavor of the monk extract is good (to me) and no after taste like stevia has plus the only thing in it is monk fruit. I like the product. 11-6-24 Update on this sweetener. I like it bc it adds sweetness to my baked goods but after it sits a day or so the sweetness fades slightly but not enough to stop me from using it. The monk fruit extract doesn’t dissolve easily and should be added earlier in the mixing process as this may help. I prefer this brand bc it is only from “monk fruit “ from what I have read. The sweetness is adequate for me to eliminate sugars but not add all the artificial sweeteners.

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.

I am lactose intolerant and used coffee creamers for my coffee…not healthy ingredients. I purchased the Monk Fruit Extract based on reviews. It is very sweet and I use 1/2 of the scoop they provide for a large cup of coffee. Easy to use and worth it to have a healthier alternative to sugar.

La cantidad es muy poca. En la imagen se aprecia gente mucho mas cantidad
