Wow!
I used this to make a diabetic friend some peanut butter fudge for Christmas. I made other friends regular peanut butter fudge, and of course I had to try each multiple times… ya know, for quality control! The fudge made with the monk fruit sweetener actually tastes better then the “real” stuff!

Just blends wonderfully
We use this brand and powdered sweetener in all of our desserts with excellent results. My only suggestion would be for Lakanto to make a brown sugar substitute that is not blended with syrups. No worries with Lakanto

I don’t go without it!
My family and I have been using Monk fruit for 5 years now. It’s the only sugar we use. In my opinion and experience, it’s the best!
Annie P –
Tastes great, disolves well
I use pure Monkfruit sometimes, but the powder does not dissolve easily. I recently began drinking tea with milk foam on the top. I have found that a very small amount of this sweetener sprinkled on top makes a lovely sweet crust. And you can achieve sweetness with much less sweetener.

Good product
been using this product for 2.5 yrs. no problem . This order arrived and there was a tear in the bag allowing product to spill into box. Called Amazon and problem was solved

Satisfactory sugar substitute
This sugar substitute is easy to use in recipes because of its 1:1 measurement ratio. It does have a bit of an after taste though and it does not dissolve in liquids as readily as regular sugar.

Great company who sells a great product
This company does well with its many products, this Monk Fruit sweetener was no exception. Happy with the bulk price. I had some pure Monk Fruit and blended a bit of it into a 2 cup portion of this product. Made it sweeter with no aftertaste and I can use less. I don’t like straight Monk fruit by itself.

Great substitute for sugar and sugar alcohols
The sweetness is more mild than in sugars or other sugar substitutes so it may require adding more. It mixes in fairly well and tastes great
Breana B –
Tastes so good!

Monkfruit sugar is granulated. Looks like regular sugar!
I like that I can use it just like cane sugar. I use it in all my baked goods.

Great Keto Friendly Sweetener!
If you’re on a keto diet this is your sweetener. It doesn’t taste funky like the other sweeteners. Tastes and acts like regular sugar.

Better than others but not cheap
Better than other monks I have tried and tastes very good. Only issue is that it is much more expensive than other sweeteners.

Awesome natural sugar alternative
This is great in coffee/tea, baking, sprinkled on fruit, and doesn’t leave an aftertaste.

Tastes like sugar!
This sugar substitute is the best I found so far. Taste like real sugar. Sometimes I find it doesn’t bake the same but overall is a great product.

Our favorite keto powdered sugar substitute
Love this product. We use it in all applications requiring powdered sugar as a substitute and it performs perfectly and tastes delicious. Great value here on Amazon vs our local grocery store.

What Can I Say ZERO-Carbs, Calories, Glycemic, No Sugar.
Third time buying and all I have to say is this is a great product. I needed a sugar substitute with Zero Glycemic and this has worked for me. I use it in my tea or coffee. Tastes great. Over all no complaints only smiles.

Good
The flavor is good, but it takes more of it to sweeten something.

My mom makes me order this for her because computers are hard
I personally have never tasted this stuff but my mom absolutely raves about how good it is. It is much cheaper to order this through Amazon than to buy at the local store.

Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener – A Delicious and Healthy Sugar Alternative
As someone who is always looking for healthier alternatives to sugar, I was excited to try Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener. And I have to say, I’m really impressed! This zero-calorie sweetener tastes just like white sugar, and it’s a perfect cup-for-cup replacement. I’ve used it for cooking and baking, and it tastes, bakes, and cooks just like sugar. It’s also lifestyle-friendly, working with a variety of diets including ketogenic, diabetic, candida, paleo, vegan, low-sugar, non-GMO, and all-natural.One small con I will mention is that the sweetener is quite expensive compared to regular sugar. However, considering the health benefits and the fact that it’s a natural and nutritious alternative, I think it’s worth it. Overall, I highly recommend Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener to anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake without sacrificing taste. It’s a great choice for enhancing overall health and wellness, and it’s a guilt-free way to enjoy sweetness with zero net carbs, zero calories, and zero glycemic response.

Poor Customer Service but Great Product
I love this product and have it on auto ship every 2 months. I got my latest package today and 1 bag was fine. The other had been busted and wrapped in a plastic bag where all the product was leaking into. The bag also has a hole so now part of it is down in the shipping box. Since this is a food product I cannot get a refund or replacement. This was obviously packed this way, already broken open. At this kind of a price, that is totally unacceptable.
Letha Caywood –
Great!
These products by this company is the best! I truly love their products! The sweeteners are great because they DO NOT bring your blood sugar up. I also like that it doesn’t leave a weird after taste either. You also don’t need a lot either because a small amount is all the sweet it needs. If you use to much it does taste too sweet. Had that happen in my cold tea. Also a TMI, it doesn’t give you the runs! Lol! Most sweeteners do this to me so I was glad that this brand did not. I had started using their products back in 2019 – 2020 when I was doing the paleo diet. I have now been sleeved for the bariatric surgery and have started using these again to make all different kinds of foods. These products are just great! You can even use them for diabetic’s and keto diets! Thanks so much to the ones who make these and keep making new products in your line for me to try!

I’m glad I made this switch!
I chose this product for 2 main reasons.1. It does not affect my blood sugar at all and 2. It satisfies my sweet cravings in a healthier way. I literally can feel a difference between how I feel now and when cut sugar out of my diet back in September. Not to mention the close taste that it has to real sugar. The only thing that I will mention that may seem weird, at first, is that it has a slight cooling after effect… almost like how a mild mint would feel like on your tongue. But don’t worry it doesn’t taste minty. I’m really happy with it.

It’s pricey but I like it
Good flavor and an excellent product for foods that require sprinkles of sugar on top. I like to make grape salad with pecans and a sprinkle of ‘sugar’ on top. I use this to keep my carbs/sugars down and you can’t tell the difference. It tastes and works very much like light brown sugar. I also like using it in hot coffee and tea, as it gives a slightly smokey or molasses flavor to it. We buy this product a lot and it is a staple on my grocery list.
Amanda –
DELICIOUS!!
Wow I put the powdered one in a dessert recipe, and it tasted SO amazing! Just like regular sugar. It mixes very well into the dough without granules being left behind. The best part is that there’s NO disgusting aftertaste like you get with stevia. Just the sweet deliciousness with nothing else. I don’t know why anyone would ever use real sugar when they could use this much healthier version!
Frank Miniaci –
The BEST sweetener on the market!
Lakanto always has top notch products. I use the pancake syrup too as well as the powdered sugar. Monk Fruit is my “go to.” Keto or not, it is better to stay away from sugar for your overall health. My only wish is that lakanto was a bit more affordable but, I will continue to buy this and all your products. LOVE LOVE this company and this product!

Good for diabetics
I love Lakanto products. Since it popped up on my Amazon screen I never stop ordering those products. It doesn’t spike up my blood sugar. And now I can make desserts using lakanto sweetener (brown or classic).

Monkfruit Brown/the best Zero Cal sweetener
I am too lazy to write a review. However, i want people to know how good the monkfruit Brown granules is. I got the white one two years ago, i was not a fan of it. However, recently I thought about giving the brown granules a try as a saw a review video on it, and i am so glad I did. I found my zero cal sugar substitute. The brown granules has taste similar to the sugar in the raw, which i was used to. Years of shopping, trying, and looking for my sugar subs I found mine and I want all to know this one doesn’t have an aftertaste and doesn’t taste like weird chemicals. Once again, I liked the brown one much better.

Best brand for monk fruit sweetener.
This taste exactly like sugar without the glucose spikes. Theres is no bitter aftertaste at all. Great for diabetics and for people who are on keto or low carb diet. The only down side is if you try to use it for caramelizing it does not work. It stays clear. So you’re better off getting the brown variation for that. I substitute this for anything that calls for sugar or honey.

can’t be more happy with this product
I use this sugar substitute religiously and it has had a great deal to reduce my HGBA1c . There are some side effects that need to be accounted for though. At first, it will give you some gas pains as your gut gets used to the erythritol but it subsides in a month or so. Secondly is my secret formulation so that if someone wants to try your delicious sugar free cookies they won’t get that slightly cool after sensation or after taste (which is not that bad)……just add a table spoon of regular white sugar and they taste like real sugar cookies. If you are diabetic and really sensitive to sugar then skip it and enjoy! I make sweet tea with this and it’s the best tasting tea I have ever tasted. NUMMY

Lakanto is the only manufacturer I use for Monkfruit. It’s all I need. I didn’t know there WAS s 3-lb bag, and since Costco’s in my neck of the woods, no longer sell it….

Great but pricey and not eligible for return if damaged
I have purchased this many times. My favorite sweetener. Unfortunately it arrived yesterday with a big whole torn in the bag so spilled out all in the box and made a huge mess in my house when I brought it in. It doesn’t change the quality of the product — but it is pricey, so this was unfortunate and this is an item that is NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN.

Beust no carb sugar made
I have been using Lakanto Classic Munk Frut sweetener for 1.5 years and have loved it from day one. It’s the only sugar we use in my home and no one has ever said they could tell a difference between this and real sugar. I love it but it is rather expensive.

Healthful sugar substitute
In my search for a natural non-sugar sweetener I’ve tried so many! They all claim to taste like sugar but they do not! Lakanto Monk Fruit sweetener truly comes the closest. It’s the only sweetener I use in my tea. I carry a small container of it in my purse since restaurants haven’t caught on yet.
