NOW Foods, Certified Organic Monk Fruit Liquid, Zero-Calorie Liquid Sweetener, Non-GMO, Low Glycemic Impact, 2-OunceUSDA Organic

Love this. So sweet with no diet aftertaste. Plus it's Organic and NonGMO by a great Now Foods company.Only thing is its a 2oz bottle. It's small, however a little goes a long way. (I put maybe a 1/4th of top in my half of Green tea and it was more then swwet.

150x sweeter than sugar?Believe it!Doesn't quite taste the same as sugar; but not objectionably so; at all.Most likely wouldn't even notice.No after taste like Stevia; at all.Though non-aftertaste Stevia IS avail on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006I7DR0E?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title .I was surprised to discover this; and I'm now on my 4th box of non-aftertaste Stevia. Good stuff.Which I prefer to augment the honey I put in my daily coffee.But... for several other sweetening uses... I find the potency of this Monk Fruit sweetener preferable.The Ingredients List lists, in order: de-ionized water, Certified Monk Fruit extract (% unspecified), and 11% organic cane alcohol.That's it.Expensive... but NOT particularly unhealthy for you (Google it; I did).Very effective for many uses.Hardly a panacea, though.Just sayin'.Highly Recommend!

Tasted clean , good sweeter substitute great for cooking.

I bought liquid Monk Fruit sweetener because, after reading about health concerns presented by erythritol, I wanted just monk fruit as an ingredient. This does contain some cane alcohol. I've only used it in baking or to sweeten hot drinks, so I don't know what it tastes like in a cold drink or food.It is sweet, but not super sweet. To sweeten a cup of hot chocolate I need about 6 drops. I also use it to sweeten apple crisp when I cook it. One thing I've wondered about is whether or not the alcohol evaporates during cooking. I don't mind a little alcohol, but it may be an issue for some people.I do notice a slight after taste that I find unpleasant. But since it isn't overpowering and I think this is a good alternative to sugar, I'll put up with it in certain foods and drinks. However, for good old sweetness, I've yet to find anything as sweet or without an after taste as good as white cane sugar.Some sweeteners, like honey and molasses have a unique flavor that does enhance or add to the flavor of certain foods, but they are not welcome in all dishes. I guess you have to choose your sweetener according to which dish you're enjoying.I'd like to know if the alcohol does indeed evaporate in a hot dish or while cooking.Because of the after taste and limited use, I think this is pricey, even though one reviewer did a price comparison with sugar in which sugar seemed less expensive. Of course, it is hard to factor in the helath costs of using sugar.

First off I want to reiterate what another reviewer mentioned.... that this is a sugar-free, carb-free sweetener, that will add A sweetness to whatever you put it in, but it will NOT replace the taste of actual sugar. Sugar is sugar....and since it can be so damaging to our health, can you imagine how rich any person or company would be if they could make a product that was completely sugar-free, but tasted IDENTICAL to sugar?! Such a product would probably be rated as the top selling item on Amazon, and I'd no doubt be stocking up on it myself! I'm not trying to be facetious or anything, just honest. Some people know this, and are just looking for a possible alternative to the various other sugar-free sweeteners out there, but I think some folks actually misunderstand the positive reviews and think they are ordering something that will replace sugar, but taste JUST like sugar. If that is what you are looking for, this item probably......ok ok, definitely, won't work for you. However, if you are looking for a natural alternative to aspartame or sucrulose, or something else besides stevia or xylitol (or other sugar alcohols like xylitol, such as erythritol), then this may be a good option for you to try. As for me, I've tried them all! It does come down to personal taste, and what you like (or don't like) mixed in with your sweetener. I don't mind stevia, and have used it, but I find that I like the taste of monk fruit sweeteners more (I've never had the chance to try any actual monk fruit). One of the few monk fruit brands that can be found at some stores is the Lakanto brand. It is mixed heavily with the sugar alcohol erythritol though (many stevia brands also include erythritol in their ingredients- either erythritol or dextrose). Erythritol is completely carb-free (unlike dextrose), but some people can have digestive sensitivities to sugar alcohols, or find that they have their own aftertaste like stevia does. This NOW brand of liquid monk fruit is, to me, the best of any non-sugar sweeteners I've tried, and I like that it doesn't have any artificial preservatives, sugar alcohols or dextrose added to it. As a side note, "sugar alcohols" are oddly named, they do not contain any ethanol, and can be found in some fruits and vegetables. Ok, back to the review. I've used Monk Fruit in the Raw in the past. It comes in packet form....and it took MUCH more product to sweeten something than even these drops do (as compared to, say, stevia packets). So, that part MAY be related to the Monk Fruit, but when you look up the price of other of monk fruit products, this isn't that cost prohibitive in comparison (again, in my opinion- the only thing more personal than taste is people's view of money ;-)). I'm on my 3rd bottle of it, and I started the first bottle the 1st of February of this year, 2019, and tomorrow is June 1. I also have to use a bit more than what is suggested on the bottle to get the level of sweetness I want. But the bottle does allow you to control the drops MUCH better than many other bottles used for these types of sweeteners. I hope this helps. I know I'm always leery of trying something new (because it's no fun wasting money), and often read the reviews to see if anything is posted that maybe useful in my decision making. It's unfortunate companies don't give out small test samples like they used to do in the days of my youth (or so I seem to remember anyway, lol!) ;-)

This is a clean sweetener without the bitter aftertaste I get from stevia. It dissolves well in coffee and tea, and I like that it’s organic with no fillers. It’s very sweet, so you only need about 5-8 drops, took me a few tries to get the ratio right. I usually take 2 tsp of sugar. So you need to modify it for your liking. Excellent option if you’re avoiding sugar for your health but still want something natural. Good starter size. A little goes a long way.
