DureLife Organic 100% Pure Monk Fruit Sweetener, No Erythritol, 5 Oz | Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute, No Fillers, Keto Certified, OU Kosher, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified

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.

Very sweet but just what I need as a healthy sweetener. You don't need much so be mindful and will also last a good while. This company make a quality product. I have purchased my own, a bag for my mom and one for a friend at my church.

I don't trust this company. They sell sugar alcohol products. Google what sugar alcohols do. "Most of the definitive data regarding BBB damage focuses on erythritol, which is widely used in keto snacks, protein bars, and diet drinks. Studies from institutions like the Universit of Colorado Boulder have detailed the specific mechanics of this damage:Cellular Death and Erosion: When human brain microvascular endothelial cells (the cells that knit together to form the BBB) are exposed to erythritol levels typical of a single sweetened beverage, it triggers severe oxidative stress. This cellular stress leads to the direct erosion and breakdown of the barrier.Vessel Constriction: Erythritol suppresses the brain cells' ability to produce nitric oxide (which helps blood vessels dilate and relax) and increases endothelin-1. This forces the blood vessels in the brain to constrict, reducing oxygen and nutrient delivery.Deactivating Stroke Protections: Beyond tearing down the physical barrier, erythritol blocks the release of "tissue plasminogen activator"—the body's natural clot-busting enzyme.The Broader Health ImplicationsWhen the BBB is compromised by these sweeteners, it allows toxins to leak into the central nervous system, creating an environment primed for inflammation and neurological damage.Clinical data published in journals like Nature Medicine and Neurology has tied these physical changes to broader health events. High blood concentrations of sugar alcohols are now strongly associated with a higher risk of blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes, as well as accelerated cognitive decline." Just say no.

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.

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

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.

Superb flavor, the closest to sugar I’ve tasted. A small amount goes a long way and may well last months. Great product.
