So Nourished Erythritol Sweetener Granular - Keto Sugar Substitute - 0 Calorie, 0 Net Carb, Non-GMO (1 lb / 16 oz)

Tastes like sugar. No grainy consistency. No spike in blood sugar.

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.

I bought this on a whim when I realized I couldn’t drink my coffee with my usual cream and sugar when starting intermittent fasting. I tried drinking my coffee black and although it wasn’t terrible when I added a pinch of salt, I knew I wasn’t going to make it on black coffee. After finding out sweetners such as Sweet N Low were allowed I came here to Amazon to find a better alternative. I used to use Sweet N Low all the time until one day, randomly, it suddenly gave me this terrible chemical aftertaste. Since then I ditched it and just measured my REAL sugar out for drinks such as coffee and tea. I might add I’ve also tried Stevia and Splenda in the past as well and always disliked them. Now that I am trying to follow a IF schedule for eating I am in need of a sweetener that won’t trigger any kind of breaking of my fast in the morning. I am drinking my coffee now for the first time with Erythitol and I can honestly say I am impressed. There’s no artificial aftertaste and although it isn’t giving me the sweet sugar taste, it did dull the bitterness of my coffee to drinkable. I usually use 2 tsp real sugar in my coffee (12 oz cup) so I put about 2 1/2 tsp of erythritol this first time around. I could definitely get used to this sweetener and highly recommend it to anyone finding a good sugar alternative to sweeten drinks.

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

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.

Very satisfied with purchase and taste

The media could not be loaded. I like the packaging is resealable & there is no wasted space. The bag is just big enough for product so its better for environment. It's recyclable in my area. I used my wet finger to test out the taste in a blind test taste. I couldn't choose correctly so it fooled me. I used in sweet tea. Fabulous. Dissolved faster than sugar. I baked a cheesecake & it bakes amazingly well. I could not continue Keto without this product or the ease in which this seller positively communicates. Seller is super kind & helpful. In fact the best customer service on Amazon! . I'd give 6 stars if possible. I've lost 20lbs using this & thats with a large helping of dessert everyday using this. One last thing. All Erythritol is not as good as this particular product. Buy this...the REAL thing!The only downside is per directions on back one must use a tiny bit more to equal sweetness of sugar. A tsp of sugar may be a Tsp & a quarter of this but the measurements are right there on the back so it makes it very very easy.
