As Described

I keep going over the ingredients list just because I really can't believe there is nothing harmful. Have yet to find a reason NOT to use this. It truly DOES taste just like sugar. There are no harmful ingredients that you will find in other sugar substitutes. Use it straight, in your coffee or in your baking. I use Subscribe and Save to be sure I always have it on hand.

I have been in search of a great tasting sugar substitute without bitterness or aftertaste for well over 10 years now. I've tried a bunch. I found this quite by accident and it is THE BEST in the world! There is absolutely no reason to not buy this! No bitter aftertaste, no bitter going in taste, no chemical taste, no weird taste. If somebody were to blindfold you and do it taste test between common table sugar and this product, you probably would not be able to tell any difference at all. My only complaint is that it is so darn expensive. But I consider that as an investment in my health.

Tried this product for the first time because I'm on a low carb regimen. I picked erythritol because it seems to be the less bad for you than other artificial sweeteners, it is less sweet than came sugar and had no nasty aftertaste. The sweetness has the same quality as sugar. For me one large teaspoon of erythitol in coffee is about as sweet as one teaspoon of sugar. Package says it's 70% of the sweetness of sugar. Serving size of 2.5 teaspoons of erythitol has 10 grams of carbs, so if you're on a low carb diet you still have to count it in your plan.

I've used this product for a year or so now. It's very handy because it does taste like sugar and it doesn't seem to have the aftertaste that some sweeteners do. To me it's not quite as sweet as sugar, but you can always use a little more to taste. You can bake with it, too!

I use this for baking. It's great!

I did not find this erythritol to be very sweet, but I assume it is a characteristic of the molecules, not of the brand. The claim of 70% of the sweetness of sugar is a bit misleading, as adding 30% more erythritol does not achieve 100% of the sweetness of refined sugar. Wet your finger and taste it first, then do it with sugar, monkfruit, stevia or artificial sweeteners and you will see what I mean. Two teaspoons in a cup of coffee is barely noticeable, so you will need amp up the volume used to about 2X. Unlike other sugar alcohols, I did not notice GI distress from consuming it. All in all, I prefer sucralose as a no-calorie sweetener, but if your goal is to only consume "natural" substances, then erythritol might work for you.

Resealable bag works well. A good no calorie sweetener for my uses in both hot and cold drinks.
