BulkSupplementscom Monk Fruit Extract Powder - Luo Han Guo Extract, Monk Fruit Without Erythritol - 125 Servings, Gluten Free, 2g per Serving, 250g (8.8 oz) (Pack of 1)

I’ve used monk fruit for years as an alternative sweetener to sugar and the chemical substitutes. Between monk fruit and stevia, it is sufficient.Monk fruit is normally either a liquid or white crystalline form.First order from this source; first and last.The package was labeled as monk fruit; what was inside was not remotely as advertised. On their page, they include a picture of someone putting a spoon of their white crystalline product into their coffee.What I received was brown powder, similar to cinnamon. Taste? Bitter. Very.Amazon had me contact them directly where an employee named Alexis asked for pictures (which I provided) then said it was what their ‘new’ supplier describes as accurate. NOT EVEN.When I asked for a refund, she said I should return the product at my expense. Unopened (?) I would eventually get a refund. Opened? A deeply reduced amount. She had the pictures of an opened product.Customer service is as important as the product.They get a big ZERO on both. Would have liked to give this experience no stars…..

Just what I needed as a health conscientious diabetic. Nothing included that on any of the current "bad for you" lists. It tastes great, only don't add too much or it can be over sweet.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Tastes like hit. Strong aftertaste. But that's true with monk fruit in general. They're all bad. Nothing beats agave syrup for good taste and low glycemic value. My opinion: I just don't like Monkfruit. Found out the hard way. Stick to agave syrup for good taste and low glycemic value.

Disappointed that it was advertised as “pure” monk fruit and none of the pictures showed that it also contained maltodextrin.

Monk fruit is a great substitute for sugar and I use it when I want to make a dessert, becasue otherwise, we do not put sugar or substitutes anywhere else. So if you use it only for baking or making desserts, then it makes it a quite expensive product having in mind the amounts that theoretically are used when making desserts. Luckily, we don't eat almost anything sweet, so we decrease the amounts of sweeteners recommended in the recipes, by A LOT.

Something is wrong with the batch I got and reached out to the company for refund. They refused any refund. I received a dark substance which has never been this color before and the powder is definitely a different. Don’t recommend this company. Basically they send you whatever and do not stand by any quality control. Do not waste your money!!

While certainly better than sugar, I won't be buying from these people again as their product contains maltodextrin, a starch containing carbohydrates which defeats the purpose of using monk fruit extract as a sweetener.

Quality, price & speed of delivery as expected & as promised. I am & will continue to be a satisfied customer. As Expected...
