Very, VERY sweet/potent
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!

Finally quit sugar because of this!
Update: Over two months sugar free and loving it all thanks to this monkfruit sweetener! I still have at least half a bottle of this stuff left, it lasts a very long time and I use like 3× the recommended amount.I will never be without this liquid monk fruit sweetener. I went sugar free about 20 days ago, and I went from having lots of sugar in my tea at least 3x per day to just using this monkfruit sweetener in place of the sugar and it has helped me not to crave the sweetness of sugar because this is the closest non sugar alternative that I have found so far and ive tried them all. Xylitol tastes like sugar but it gives me horrible gut issues, as does the powdered monk fruit sweetener that has the sugar alcohol erythritol. Stevia leaves a bitter aftertaste, and all other kinds of sweetners either still raise blood sugar or mess my stomach up. This monkfruit extract does not have any erythritol in it so it doesn't mess my stomach up at all and tastes very similar to sugar. Its a bit expensive, but it's well worth it to me, and I use maybe like twice the recommended amount and it has lasted me months still. Thanks to this product I have been finally able to break my sugar addiction.

Excellent sweetenter substitute
I have been looking for a sweetener for so long - and this solved my problem. My granular sweetener substitute doesn't dissolve well in my morning coffee, but these little drops did the trick. No after taste and my drink has a nice sweetened taste. .

Excellent sweetener for those who want to limit sugar.
Monk fruit liquid is new to me, though I'm a regular user of monk fruit powder. The powder is so fine that I thought I might want to try the liquid to be able to control the quantity easier. A bit of monk fruit goes a long way, powder or liquid. The first time I used it, I put in WAY too many drops. Honestly one drop goes a really long way to add sweetness to food. It does not impact the color of the food that you drop it onto.The bottle is small, but it will last a long time because the quantity needed is minimal. I can easily tuck it into my purse to carry into restaurants. It's a sugar substitute that works well for me as someone who tries to control my sugar intake.My only caution is that a little goes a long ways! Start with one drop, stir, taste, add another drop if necessary.

Not sweet enough!
I'm comparing this monk fruit sweetener to my Better Stevia liquid drops...and Better Stevia (same company NOW) works better in baked goods. I like to make microwave mug muffins...so this is the comparison between using two little squirts of the Better Stevia liquid then trying the same recipe with 8 drops of this monk fruit. Not sweet enough...I'm also using blueberries and chopped dates in my recipe so I'm not lookingfor a sugary flavor...but the result was just blah... I then tried 10 drops of monk fruit the next time I made the muffin...(one portion)...still not sweet enough....Went back to using my Better Stevia which seems to be fine when I'm baking a flax/blueberry mug muffin in the microwave. I had to keep adding an excessive amount of monk fruit drops in order to reach a satisfying sweet flavor...and even then, it wasn't really sweetenough at 15 drops...... I tried tasting a drop of stevia on my finger...it was bitter and not palatable....I did the same with the monk fruit....but it tasted good right out of the bottle, and much likenatural sugar. But for the price (And Amazon is very high on this product), I think I'd find it more cost effective to buy monk fruit in powdered form. I first learned about monk fruit from the herbal company called Herbasway....they make green teas and other concentrated formulas...Not saying I recommend any oftheir products because I don't use them anymore....but I have used Lankanto monk fruit to bake cookies....it worked very well in baking...This NOW monk fruit just doesn't work for me...I went back to using my Better Stevia....two tiny squirts makes my mug muffin taste perfect.. This monk fruit never achieved a sweet enough level even at 15 drops would have supposedly given me the equivalent of two tsps of sugar....and byno means am I a fan of very sweet flavors...It's just that my muffins kept tasting like I used no sweetener atall...and I just stopped trying to use this...It seemed to have a very diluted flavor...and I would have used thisbottle up so quickly that it's clearly way too expensive to ever want to purchase it again...
