If this Nutricost Erythritol was sitting on the table in a sugar bowl, no one would know the difference between it & the real thing. It looks like sugar & melts on the tongue like sugar. There’s very little aftertaste & either I’m just too used to it to notice or it doesn’t have it, but there isn’t a cold “feel”. This can’t be used when baking anything with yeast because it can’t feed it. It isn’t a good product for breads or pastries, but it can be used in cooking other things that take sugar, like sauces.
It comes with a teensy, tiny scoop which is what measures out the 454 servings in this small container. Considering it measures the same as sugar & the scoop holds ¾ of a teaspoon, that’s not enough to sweeten anything. What calls for ¾ of a teaspoon? I measured three scoops of this in my coffee & couldn’t taste much sweetness so broke down & used stevia. I think saying that this has 454 servings is a h-u-g-e stretch & it’s quite an expensive one.
As far as what it tastes like, it delivers on that; but, the cost is higher than I want to pay & it irritates me that anyone would think that tiny scoop could measure out a true portion.
