Swerve Sweetener, Packets, 120ct

Still has an aftertaste (not as bad as Stevia), but to get an actual sweet taste you need to use a lot..my preference is sweet & at this price it is not cost effective. Also there is 4 g carbs for every tsp, which can add up. I bought it to replace Splenda & to use for intermittent fasting...so it's acceptable for that

As a person trying to control both weight and stave off diabetes, after trying almost every sugar substitute in existence (from stevia and monkfruit to chemical ones like the pink, blue, and yellow packets) Swerve is the only one I can put in my coffee or tea without having to brace myself for the coming bizarre aftertaste. It is very close to being just plain sweet. And since it has no calories and no sugar spike, I can live with it in between those inevitable forays into Sugarland. The texture is a bit coarser than granulated white sugar (which I don't mind). The color is very slightly amber, not pure white (which I don't mind). They say it is natural- I wonder about how that is defined but for now I'll take their word on that. The 3 stars for ease of use are because it seems subject to moisture in the atmosphere, even inside the sealed packets which I further keep in a sealed canister. It can turn clumpy inside the packets after awhile, but you can still use it. And the individual packets are without doubt expensive; however I prefer them to the loose boxed version (which I also used) for the convenience of taking with me, for controlling the sweetness level, and to prevent a whole open box from becoming clumpy if I don't use it up fast enough. I have not baked with Swerve so I can't say how it works for that.

When I open the sachets of these sugar they are very dry , I cannot get them out of the sachets they stick to the sachets I think they’re old stock

This sweetener is fantastic. I have never liked artificial sweeteners. This is not very sweet, so I can see why some people who have been using artificial sweeteners rated this low. But going from sugar to this sweetener, it measures more closely to a pack of sugar. I use 2 packets in tea/coffee more like I would use sugar packets. When I use other artificial sweeteners I only use part of a packet because those are very strong. I have used this to sweeten drinks and have used the larger packs to make desserts. People don't even know the desserts are not made with sugar. This product is fantastic and worth trying for sure for a sugar alternative. Just know it isn't super sweet like other artificial sweeteners, but it is a much healthier option and works great!

The flavor and texture are good. Very close to real sugar w/no weird taste. I’d say it’s about 75% as sweet as sugar so you may need a bit more of this vs what you’d use if it were actual sugar. The crystals are very similar to sugar. My only complaint would be that it cakes up a bit in the packets, almost as if they’d gotten some moisture. All in all, a good product, but expensive.
