So NourishedErythritol Sweetener Granular - 1:1 Sugar Substitute, Keto - 0 Calorie, 0 Net Carb, Non-GMO (2.5 lbs / 40 oz)

So...I did NOT want to go down the road of maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, Nutrasweet, etc. Anything that positively, or negatively affected my gut bacteria was a bad thing. Endless hours in the bathroom is not my goal of an artificial sweetener. So it has to taste great and not cause any side-effects. Enter...erythritol, made from fermented fruits! It's about 80% as sweet as sugar, so you use 1.5 to 1 or more, depending on what your taste is.Unless you love the weird added flavors of stevia and pre-biotic stuff, stick with this. It's a pure product, dissolves well, and is very similar to sugar in flavor and texture.My only desire, is that this would come in packets so I could have it on me all the time. The 5-pound bag is a great value.I have also tried xylitol, but that eventually bothers my stomach, and there's a strange aftertaste. Not so with erythritol!Takes a bit longer to dissolve..larger crystals than sugar, but if the liquid is hot - coffee, tea, etc. - it's basically like sugar. I've taste-tested this with friends, my wife..and all say it's 'pretty good,' which to me translates to 'it doesn't taste like the other crappy artificial sweeteners.'Oh..and ZERO carbohydrates! This will not raise or lower blood glucose. It is metabolized through the kidneys... you pee it out...and it never reaches the colon. It does not promote the growth or death of any gut bacteria...so NO stomach issues!I used to use about 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar in coffee. I use about 2 teaspoons of this, and it's basically the same taste!I also buy bulk bottles of unsweetened black tea, then add 2-3 teaspoons of this to the bottle, cover, and shake it up. Takes a few seconds to completely dissolve, but once it's done...I have sweetened tea with zero carbs that doesn't taste like Flintstones chewable vitamins!If you're concerned, give it a try. Test your glucose before and after. Nothing should change, and no more weird aftertastes...or chemical flavors...or other awful things. Just...using sugar again without the bad parts!I have tried Swerve. It's good, but...weird aftertaste...some of the stuff sticks to my tongue. Swerve adds 'natural flavors' and 'oligosaccharides' that act as a prebiotic. Uhm..I do NOT want anything to help my gut bacteria. Swerve is basically 99% erythritol with some additions. This is 100% pure erythritol! It's the way to go!

I bought this while I was doing the keto diet and it definitely helped me stay on track. I was missing sweets and baking, so shopped around and ended up picking this with the good reviews. It definitely doesn't taste just like sugar, but I was not expecting it to and this is an awesome substitute. I used this to make keto cookies and brownies and they turned out good. Easy to use, there's a conversion that shows you how much to use vs regular sugar. This paired with almond flour allows you to make tons of recipes in a keto or low sugar way.

This sugar substitute is not overly sweet!! I love it!

This sugar replacement product is a good one, but it takes quite a while to dissolve. I used it with sliced strawberries and to make whipped cream topping. It took a couple of hours to dissolve. Before it dissolved, it was gritty like sugar is before it dissolves. It left no aftertaste, a big plus, and zero food counts - another big plus!

Works as sugar !

I hesitate on giving a review because every time I do the seller ups the price on the product that’s why they ask for a review. The sugar is good but so is a lot of other sugars on this Internet site. Amazon I tell you, you need to be the judge your own. Right now it say the price is pretty high for this one pound of sugar compared to others. The sugar is sweet taste like real sugar or cane sugar. Dissolves well in cold tea as well as warm.

This is repeat purchase for my guy he is trying to use less Splenda and likes the taste of this.

Excellent product for Carnivore diet!
