HEALTH GARDEN Monk Fruit Sweetener, Golden- Non GMO - Gluten Free - Sugar Substitute - Kosher - Keto Friendly (3 lbs) (9505)

I love this stuff. In the past five years, I've probably bought this a dozen or so times. I use it for everything you would use regular cane sugar for (white or brown); coffee, drinks, yogurt, baking--you name it! I've tried probably 50 different types of alternate sugars growing up and into my adulthood, and this is by far the best. It acts exactly like regular sugar in baking and all other uses, and tastes almost exactly the same. I say almost exactly because it does have a very, very light flavor to it of monk fruit. I've tried many different types of monk fruit sweeteners as well... they are not all created equal. I've even used 100% monk fruit powder (wow that is powerful stuff! Has a grossly sweet flavor, not at all like sugar but still better than some replacements like stevia). Another second favorite would be agave syrup, but that still has a lot of calories. I find this product is the healthiest option that is most like sugar. Seriously, if not for the very faint flavor (which is a very good flavor, by the way) I would say it is exactly like sugar. Well, it does seem to sweeten just a bit more than real sugar, just a little, which I don't mind. The carbs are nonexistent. On my searches, I've found it's really hard to get a sweetener that has both 0 calories, 0 carbs, isn't really engineered and is actually healthy from you... usually at best you get either 0 carbs or 0 calories. This sweetener has 0 net carbs but it does have some calories... however, it's such low calories compared to so many others that it is the best bang for your health and caloric buck. I try to convince all my family and friends that this stuff is a life and game changer... but they're always skeptical and won't try it, lol! However no one ever notices anything when I bake it or use it to make their coffee etc. I don't think they notice a difference at all. To me, it makes things taste a little better. I love sweet things like Starbucks coffee and sweet yogurt so I like to make my own with this monk fruit sweetener (specifically the brown kind seems to be the magical recipe), and feel a whole lot better about it. In conclusion, just get this stuff! Give it a shot! You can't go wrong with it. I like the brown kind.

It’s a great buy, better than regular sugar to me, no raising of the glycemic index, and taste great with no aftertaste!

Absolutely love this brand for Monk Fruit Sweetener! ZERO after taste and ZERO impact to my blood sugar! Thank you!

I recently discovered Health Garden's Monk Fruit Sweetener, Golden, and it has truly transformed my approach to sweetening my favorite recipes! As someone who is health-conscious and looking to reduce sugar intake, I couldn't be happier with this product. One of the standout features of this sweetener is that it is derived from monk fruit, a natural and calorie-free alternative to traditional sugar. Unlike regular sugar, which can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to various health issues, monk fruit sweetener has a low glycemic index, The taste is exceptional—smooth and sweet without any bitter aftertaste, which can be a concern with some other sugar substitutes. I’ve used it in everything from baking to my morning coffee, and it enhances flavors beautifully without compromising on taste.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The product is fine, but I am overstock with it. Please skip the next delivery

I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a year ago, and I really love baking, but thought I would have to give it up. Luckily with the help of my healthcare team and diet changes, I found substitutes for sugar (ex: Erythritol, Allulose, Monk Fruit, or a blend of 2 of the 3 substitute sugars mentioned). I was super excited to try this brown sugar substitute so I made a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies the day it was delivered, and they turned out fantastic!!! When it arrived, I realized the substitute sugar was granular, but not clunky or stuck together like regular brown sugar. I actually like it this way since it was easy to measure, compared to having to press the sugar into the measuring cup like one has to do with regular brown sugar. Note on my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies: I did have to press my cookies down before putting them in my oven because I had a feeling they would not expand the way normal brown sugar does (I was right, which is not a big deal since I have various recipes that require one to press the cookie down since it won't expand). For the price, the taste, and results, I highly recommend this product!!! ❤❤ P.S.: My husband has verified the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies made with this brown sugar substitute tasted like the ones I have made with regular brown sugar!!!

Love this monk fruit sweetener for my coffee desserts and doesn’t spike blood sugar. This one is golden so not bleached. Very low calorie. It taste like brown sugar but not overly sweet. I’ve ordered 5 times and will continue to order it. A bit pricey but less than at regular grocery stores one bag last more than a month. Bobby Parish approved as well as Dr Eric Berg

Best tasting of all the keto version sweeteners that I have tried. I use it for hot and cold coffee and teas. No nasty aftertaste. Looking forward to trying it in baked goods.
