So, I was really nervous because I've never been a big fan of artificial sweeteners. I like my real sugar, y'all. But I was pleasantly surprised! While you can tell it's definitely not sugar on its own (like on your fingertip or something), when I put it on my strawberries, I couldn't tell ANY DIFFERENCE. My husband tried some in his tea and while he could tell a difference, he said it was alright. I'll probably stick with sugar for his sake since we rarely use it anyway, but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for anyone who is looking for a good sugar replacement!!!!
