Anyone know anything about monkfruit?

It's a supposedly natural, low-calorie sweetener that is made into extracts and other products that people can use

monkfruit.org

I love dessert but I don't like artificial sweeteners (don't trust them) or stevia (it tastes gross). So this could be good if it is as good as they say, but I'm skeptical.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience?

I own it. I cannot imagine you ever using it as it's very spendy.

I like liquid stevia . I think it is now brand. Like a drop is enough.

I know it's spendy but if the extract is 200 times as sweet as sugar then it would last a long time, right? Even the powder that is 20 times as sweet as sugar, so it could be 20 times as expensive and it would net even. So you own it. Do you like it? What is it like?

I really can't stand stevia, unfortunately.

I will go look at bag. I think it says to use cup for cup for sugar!

I have bought ALL the substitutes for tasting. Can't do xylitol. Headache.

Different monk fruits are different for amount. Depends on how it is prepared.

Monk fruit leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth. I try to avoid it.

I really like it. I get a bitter taste from stevia and artificial sweeteners give me migraines.

I rarely use it though and haven't tried cooking with it.
