Enlight Sweetener, 100% Monkfruit Extract Sweetener | Zero Calories, Keto Friendly, Sugar Free Natural Sweetener, Pure Flavor, 3.53 Oz (Pack of 1)

I purchased a number of the other Monk Fruit sweetener brands and their containers leave a mess everywhere. I love this pouch, it keeps everything nice and tidy. The quality of the product is exceptional and it has no other ingredients. I've searched around trying various brands in grocery stores and specialty markets and they always slip some 'added' ingredients, but this package is just monk fruit which I appreciate. I also love that is has no aftertaste and it only took a tiny bit to sweeten my smoothie. It says it has 100 servings, but I can honestly see this lasting way longer than I thought - maybe a few months, which makes the value great. I definitely recommend it!

My first time using this product, so it's all new to me. I read reviews and took the advice of one reviewer to just dips the tip of a fork or chopstick into the powder. It takes only a tiny little sprinkle to sweeten a cup of tea. Yes, if you use too much, it tastes bad. Just use the tiniest sprinkle!! It's powerful stuff! Also, the human sense of taste is a very complex mechanism, so it takes some experimentation and adjustment. For example, if I put it directly on my tongue or lips, I don't like the initial taste, but I do kind of enjoy the aftertaste (though it doesn't taste like sugar to me when eaten directly). However, when I add it to my tea, it tastes as though it were sweetened with sugar. For the benefits this stuff is supposed to have, I think I can make the adjustments. As for baking with it, I personally think it would be really tricky to judge how much to put in, just because it is so powerful. Before baking with it, I think I'd do some research and try to find someone experienced in using it.

I have used this brand for years. It doesn’t have any weird aftertaste and it mixes well in hot or cold drinks. You can even use it for baking and you would need much less than you would sugar because it’s much sweeter than sugar. It’s a little expensive but it tastes better than the less expensive brands. The amount you get lasts me a long time because you don’t need much to make something sweet.

Floods out the top of bag when opened. Careful not to inhale this stuff. Has a worse taste than ANY of at least 8 brands of stevia I have tried over many years (yes this review is for our monkfruit but stevia is all I can compare it to as far as highly concentrated sweeteners). Also more expensive than ANY sweetener per cup of sugar equivalent sweetness. Also according to chart on bag, 3/8 tsp would equal one cup of sugar but not so at all. It takes about 2 tsp to get a cup of sugar equivalent. I calculated this by making a batchof Kool-Aid without any added sweeteners. I then divided into eight 1-cup servings. I added the appropriate amount of sugar according to what I would normally use in a two quart batch. I then slowly in very tiny 1/64 of a teaspoon measurements proceeded to sweeten the other seven glasses of Kool-Aid with various sweeteners, taste testing it against the sugar sweetened Kool-Aid. based on the amounts required to sweeten 1 cup of unsweetened Kool-Aid I was able to calculate that it takes approximately 2 teaspoons of this to equal the sweetness of sugar. I'm here to tell you that the monk fruit was the most vile of all. I have heard that lakanto pure monk fruit sweetener is better, and I tend to believe it. I have purchased a couple brands of erythritol and monk fruit combinations, and the lakanto brand to me had absolutely no trace of an aftertaste from the monk fruit even when dipping strawberries in it straight, whereas one of the other brands I could tell that there was monk fruit in it by the aftertaste it left albeit not severe. it is better when mixed with erythritol but I think lakanto probably has a better pure extract and I am going to purchase that next. This stuff is non-returnable and if you end up stuck with it as I am, my suggestion is to use it in savory dishes where a little sweetness is desired. In those cases the aftertaste is mostly in detectable. However baked goods or anything sweet, forget this stuff it's nasty. you can sometimes get away with using a very small amount of the monk fruit in combination with other sweeteners if what you're making has enough spices in it to hide the monk fruit aftertaste. Again I think this is the brand. The powder is a yellowish-orange. I think it should be white if it had been extracted in a more pure method to allow a clean taste. Probably similar to the difference between buying ground up green stevia leaves versus buying pure stevia extract which comes from rebaudioside a. Good luck to anyone stuck with this product. It has been pretty good in savory dishes as I mentioned. It was pretty good in a coconut curry dish.

While this product is more expensive than most of the other monk fruit sweeteners, it is actually a better deal, as it is 25% mogroside v, rather than 7%, which means you use significantly less with each serving. I've tried a few other monk fruit sweeteners and Enlight balances flavor, sweetness and overall cost. I will definitely buy again. Update: The last one I received was a bit "off." It's smell was stronger and the consistency was more like wet sand rather than a fine powder. So consequently the flavor was more pronounced and it clumped more before fully dissolving. I used it because it is so expensive. I just received my newest delivery and it is how I remembered it.

I can't say enough about how great this product is. The quality is top notch and you get significant amount. I once bought a 20g bag of Pure Monk Fruit from another brand for the SAME PRICE (NEVER AGAIN) and it lasted me over 2 months - this is 100g so you can really understand the value & how long it lasts. A few quick learnings I've had from using Pure Monk Fruit. (1) I like to add the powder inside my cup, BEFORE I had the liquid. It prevents it from clumping on the surface and makes it easier to blend. (2) Since it's a powder, you have to mix it really well. Sorta like using protein powders - mix it really well so it dissolves properly. (3) Add a tiny bit to your beverage first and then add more. You have to start small and increase the sweetness. I put a tiny bit on the edge of my spoon and that's enough to sweeten my coffee. (4) It's Monk Fruit, so it taste slightly different from sugar. After a few uses, you can't tell the difference any more, and I honestly prefer the taste of it over sugar now. My whole family loves it. Definitely check it out!

My husband stopped using cane sugar and switched to monk fruit. He has tried several different brands. He said this one tastes the most like sugar without the after taste.

I chose the powdered version of "Enlight Monk Fruit Pure Extract" because unlike the granulated version, it contains no erythritol. Much sweeter than sugar, it only takes a small amount for things like coffee or flavoring desserts, and I don't taste any bitternesss. It doesn't dissolve as easily as sugar, but that's minor. Now that even the much-beloved Stevia has been determined to possibly be the cause of many health problems, I'm grateful to have discovered this pure product. Ingredients: "Pure monkfruit Extract (25% MOGROSIDE V)." I've already reordered several times, and once was as a gift for a friend.
