I'm really liking this sweetener. It's new to me and I'm interested in reducing glycemic levels. After a few days of using this sweetener now, there are some things I'll point out for other noobs like me. Firstly, it's not the same kind of sweet as sugar, so you'll have to square yourself with that right away. The package comes with a tiny 1/3 of a teaspoon scoop because this stuff is WAYYYY sweeter than sugar, but it's not the same sweet you're trying to level with. It is very concentrated. I have been using it as a scoop and a tiny bit per 8 ounces of water with one black tea bag. It provides me with approximately 1 teaspoon of sugar sweetness. Again, it's not the same as sugar and my wife thought that my amount of monk fruit was too little for her taste. You have to try different amounts to find your best mixture of monk fruit with your beverage. Initially I thought the cost was steep for the size of the container, but now knowing I use a fraction of what I was expecting to use, it'll last me for a long time and it also let me try pure extract for an entry-level price. Make sure you read the labels as other brands add cheap fillers to make their prices seem more appealing. Give this serving a try and see if it works for you.

UPDATE 6/14/2025: I researched this company to see what I could see. My research uncovered they import a lot of ingredients from China, including Erythritol and Inulin, both used for sweetening. Their phone number is not answered by a person, but appears to be forwarded to another number, where a generic voicemail answers, stating the forwarded number. In my opinion, that is not how any professional company runs a business. I mean, what if someone got sick, how would these people be contacted? Something no longer feels right about this company. If you are legit, you answer your phone, under your business name. Original Review April 2025: This is the only monk fruit (Namanna) that does not give me cystic acne. I've tried all the other brands here on Amazon. And I do not understand why, but every other brand gives me cystic acne on my neck and jaw (so the other brands must be sneaking in something). This Namanna Monk Fruit, in my personal opinion, tastes the best (the 7% mog), flavors everything the best, I have zero aftertaste, and it 100% cures my sweet tooth. But keep in mind, my taste buds are accustomed to this sugar alternative. But my husband says it tastes like synthetic sweetener. It does have a sort of, slight "woodsy" undertone. But, I've been off sugar for more than a year. I use it exclusively in place of all sugar. And I use it in my coffee, tea, yogurt, etc. I give it 10 Stars so far.

This is the best Monkfruit extract I've tried. No aftertaste. One small scoop is just right for me in my tea. I've had other monkfruit extract that has a bit of a burned taste, but not this one. I'm on my 2nd container and have ordered 2 more. I like to add 1 tsp. of maple syrup, and then my tea is perfect! It dissolves best in hot liquid.

I like this product because it is plain monk fruit and a little of it goes a long way. It does have its own particular taste to it but I got used to it, especially because I just don’t want to consume the alternative sweeteners. Lasts me a while too.

Since this is significantly sweeter than sugar, this is a better value for your money than you might think. The container is small, but you'll get a lot out of it. You only need to use a little bit. It can have a bit of an aftertaste if you use too much, which can be unpleasant. That aftertaste isn't super strong though, so it doesn't ruin my desserts. It's a trade-off I'm willing to make to get away from sugar and potentially harmful sweeteners. Dissolves fairly easily in warm water, but getting it to dissolve into anything else is a battle. I'd recommend mixing it with a little warm water first, then putting it into whatever you're making. Since the amounts you'll be using are so small, this shouldn't upset the moisture balance too much. Comes with a desiccant packet inside, which I really appreciate. This kind of sweetener is sensitive to moisture, and one container will last you a while, so it's nice that they put in measures to ensure humidity wouldn't ruin it over time.

Update: They put fillers and sugar alcohol in it... and I think they've been slowly adding this for quite a while, until they got caught. When I first started using this, about 2 years ago, I needed about 1/4th a teaspoon to get coffee to the sweetness I like. New batches started to not sweeten as much, and to taste different. Now it takes nearly a tablespoon, and it sends you right to the toilet. I think they've been scamming us. Don't buy from them. Original review from when it was legit: I love this stuff. I've been able to completely replace sugar with monk fruit in my diet, and I'm maintaining an A1C of 5.8 with diet alone. It's not easy though. My meals are limited to 15 carbs each, with occasional cheat meals up to 30 carbs. That would be basically impossible without monk fruit. Couldn't survive without sweetened coffee and tea. It was southern sweet tea that gave me diabetes... down here they add sugar till it stops dissolving, then they add more. To be fair, the supersized cokes in the north are just as bad. Anyway, buy this stuff and reclaim a little life enjoyment. I prefer the lower mongrocide version. Less processing, and I like the light woody hints in the flavor.

I bought this because it is one of few products available that is purely monk fruit. Having only ever had monk fruit blends (mostly erythritol,) I was concerned it would be unpalatable on its own. I am so pleased that it is not whatsoever. It is incredibly potent, and I think this is what is tripping people up who can't get over the fact that it is not exactly like sugar. They're misidentifying it as bitter. There is a slight "aftertaste" (really not an aftertaste, but a different-than-sugar taste,) but after a couple of weeks of assimilation I didn't notice that. If I had grown up with monk fruit rather than cane sugar, of course, I would never have noticed it in the first place. True, erythritol has a less identifiable taste, but it is also much less sweet and therefore requires more to use. (Monk fruit is "200-300 times sweeter than sugar; and Erythritol is only about 70% as sweet as sugar.") Since we know erytritol is suspected of concerning side effects at great quantities, that's important to keep in mind. I like my coffee sweet, and I only need 1/2 teaspoon of monk fruit. Same when sweetening whipped cream and other low-carb treats. It seems like a big investment, but you truly get bang for your buck with this little tub.

I have used MicroIngredients Organic Monkfruit Powder exclusively before trying this Namanna product and was thrilled with the taste and quality of their product. The only reason I tried Namanna was to try and save some money. Well I made that mistake I tried it and it’s not worth the few dollars you save. This Namanna product is absolutely dreadful first of all it has a nasty bitter aftertaste, and it will not dissolve in whatever liquid you put it in without great difficulty it will not even dissolve in warm liquids let alone cold liquids!! Furthermore, they tell you to use a certain size serving and then after digging and digging through the bottle (and spilling it all over my counter top!) I was not even able to find a simple mini scoop so that I could determine what that serving size should be! I had to use the scoop that I had saved from my MicroIngredients Organics products. Every product of this nature in the past that I have used has always included a serving scoop! There is an extremely good reason why this company lists this product as “NOT RETURNABLE”!! I would imagine that there is a great percentage of people, that after trying this product and purchasing it on prime, would be all too anxious to return this product for a refund it really is that bad!!! One very unhappy customer!!
