Worth the Effort
I've used this for several years to sweeten my coffee and tea. It's pure and a little goes a long way. It's a fine powder that requires some effort to wrangle. I use a funnel to transfer the powder to a small glass jar. I do this in the sink because you cannot avoid a little bit of the fine powder to escape. I ditch the little scoop the give you in favor of my 1/4 teaspoon scoop, which allows me to better modulate the quantity I use. I like the taste and it is perfect for my low carb diet. It is a good value for a pure single ingredient product.

Love it!
Love this sweetener. It's veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery sweet and you only need a tiny little bit compared to sugar to do the job. So this small packet lasts a very long time. But note that it is extremely powdery and light. It will fly away or poof up into your face if you're not careful when you open the packet. I keep mine inside of a ziploc bag and keep the tiny spoon that comes with it, in the bag, but not inside the monk fruit packet because you'd get the powder all over your hands and lose a good a portion of it to flying away in the air if you have to dig in the bag for the spoon each time. Also, if you accidentally leave the ziploc bag open and forget about it for a while, when you come back it will have hardened - especially if it rains. This is not necessarily a bad thing tho, because it makes it less flyaway, and you can break it up into small chunks and less powdery grains that are actually easier to use.Highly recommended.

Not sweet. Bitter taste.
After much research, I decided to try this in hopes of finding a healthier alternative to my coffee sweetener. Specifically looking to avoid Erythritol because it upsets my gut. I've tried everything, including other Monk Fruit. This has a horrible taste! I first tried one of the tiny scoops, and there was nothing. Tried a second one, and could barely taste it, but the taste was not good. It was funky, and bitter. Adding more just makes it worse. Not sweet at all. If you are looking for something sweet and good tasting, this is not it.

Quality Product
Review updated 6/11/2022 to reflect other products. This is now a composite review of three monk fruit products.Amazon.com : It's Just - 100% Monkfruit Extract Powder, Keto Friendly Sweetener, Monk Fruit, Sugar-Free, Non-GMO, 25% Mogrosides, Non-Glycemic, 1.5oz : Grocery & Gourmet FoodI have purchased this product 12 times since 2020. I was looking for a low/no glycemic sweetener that also was not harsh on the gut biome. Only pure monk fruit and stevia seem to fit those requirements. Many of the monk fruit and stevia sweeteners available in stores are mixed with erythritol, which can have a negative effect on the beneficial bacteria in one’s gut. I did also try the drops, but the package and dispensing was just not user friendly. Also required a lot of drops to taste any sweetness.This powder does take some getting used to using. I really only use it to sweeten my brewed cacao drink. It mixes better in warm or hot liquids. I usually let it sit and brew in the french press with the ground cacao.I dislike the packaging. The zippered bag is never zipped properly therefore not sealing the powder below the tear off point, so when you open it the first time there is sticky powder that goes everywhere. I also dislike leaving it in the original packaging because it’s a pain and a mess to deal with. I now transfer this into a dark tinted wide mouth half pint jar. I also think the little measuring spoon sent in the package is an annoyance and a waste. This would be better off in a container like the Clabber Girl baking powder.Appearance is fine, pure white powder.Overall, 4.5 stars for the product itself. 2.5 stars for packaging.This is currently priced at $15.30 per oz—-----------Amazon.com: NOW Foods, Certified Organic Monk Fruit Extract Powder, Zero Calorie Sweetener, Large Bottle for Serving Scoop, Certified Non-GMO, 0.7-Ounce : Grocery & Gourmet FoodI decided to give this product a try. Just the listing alone gave me hope that the packaging would be friendlier. The container is almost exactly the same as what you would find in the herbs and spice aisle at a grocery store. Flip top cap with a pour and a sprinkle option. I disliked that my measuring spoons were a little awkward getting in and out. I would like a shorter container with a wider lid, or a bigger size all together. This would almost be worth carrying in your purse if you wanted to have a monk fruit sweetener with you.Taste was excellent. To my palette it was twice as sweet as the “It’s Just” product, so less goes further.Appearance is fine, pure white powder.5 stars for the product. 3.5 stars for the packagingThis is currently priced at $29.71 per oz, so value is roughly equal to the “It’s Just” brand—--------Amazon.com: Smart Monk - 100% Monkfruit Extract, Non-Glycemic, Zero Calorie, Sugar-Free Monk Fruit Sweetener (3oz / 85g) : Grocery & Gourmet FoodPackaging for the win! This is the perfect leave at home on the counter or in the pantry package. No spills in shipment, and no difficulty getting to the monk fruit powder. Container is a tub with a screw cap, 3.5” in diameter, 2.75” tall.Taste is definitely not as good as either of the other products. It is about as sweet as the “It’s Just” monk fruit, but it has a bit of an aftertaste. I will finish the container, but I will not buy it again.Appearance is fine, yellowish powder.2.5 stars for the product. 5 stars for the packaging.This is currently priced at $13.71 per oz. This product has the best value for weight.

I WISH I'D HAD THIS ALL MY LIFE!
PARENTS: STOP FEEDING YOUR CHILDREN SUGAR, which is addictive and truly poison--it destroys teeth, skin, vision, hair; it can cause you to lose limbs; it can elevate blood pressure and blood sugar levels; it can negatively impact mental health; and, obviously, it can cause excessive weight gain. There's NO good reason to eat sugar (no one HAS to eat foods that include sugar as an ingredient). Artificial sweeteners are a poor substitute as far as health is concerned. Natural sweeteners like stevia, allulose and monk fruit blends, while better for you, don't taste great. But this PURE monk fruit powder is a game changer! It's Only Monk Fruit doesn't have sugar alcohol added, so you don't have the bitter aftertaste typical with other natural sweeteners. The little scoop included measures 1/32 of a teaspoon (equal to 2 tsp of sugar), and that small amount is adequate. When mixed with food or drink, you get a very clean, subtly sweet taste, i.e., the sweetness is there without being cloying; it definitely satisfies a sugar craving! After reading the reviews before purchase, I tried to be careful transferring it to a jar, but still managed to spill about a tsp full of the powder! I thoroughly tamped down the bag before carefully opening it and I didn't get a plume, but I DID taste the sweetness in my throat! The powder is extremely fine and it's easily inhaled; be careful. The small package contains 300 servings, so I think the price is fair. I love this sugar sub and wish I'd discovered it long ago. I'll never eat sugar again.
