32 If you are looking for an alternative to artificial sweeteners without the potential bitterness of stevia or the calories of honey, Swanson PureLo Lo Han is an excellent choice! This concentrated extract from Lo Han (the traditional Chinese fruit also known as Monk Fruit) has found its way out of the Asian markets and into the mainstream as a calorie-free way to sweeten. It's perfect for coffee and tea and can even be used for cooking and baking. But beware: Lo Han can be up to 200 times sweeter than sugar. We've tempered the natural sweetness a bit by blending PureLo with natural inulin so it's ready to use in recipes or at the table. Note: Lo Han dissolves best when mixed into room temperature liquids. If you wish to sweeten a cold drink like iced tea, mix at room temperature and chill for best results.

Title:Bad Choice

Date:December 21, 2011

"This does not sweeten nearly as well as stevia. I decided to try it because it was on sale, but will go back to stevia. Scoop provided in the container was too long & had to be wedged into it, getting the product stuck to fingers with every use. Put into another container to solve this problem but will still not purchase again."

Title:No funny taste, wish it was larger.

Date:September 20, 2011

"I did not have a problem with the taste as I have seen some others have. I liked it, it sweetened and mixed well. I had hoped this could become a regular replacement for other fructose based sweeteners for me, but I will not be able to use it in cooking and such as I had hoped based on the size/price available. If I could buy it in bulk at a decent price I would have no problem at all!"

Title:Great but expensive!

Date:September 3, 2011

"This is a great sweetener I discovered. I use it in the morning mixing it in with instant oatmeal that comes in various flavors. The only negative thing about Pure Lo Han Sweetener (at least currently) is that it is very expensive. If the cost could be reduced and or if the amount would be increased, it would be a perfect product."

Title:Frozen desserts with Lo-Han

Date:August 5, 2011

"I cannot eat sugar, honey etc., don't like Stevia, and avoid sweeteners in blue, pink and yellow packets because they are supposed to be bad for us.

Since I eat yogurt and fruit, I've been sweetening
with Lo-Han and making frozen yogurt. I do have to use about ten (gasp) little spoons of Lo-Han, and that is very expensive, but it is my only access to a healthy frozen dessert. I don't taste any aftertaste, altho my husband does. However when I made pistachio, he said the fat content covered the bitterness.

I wish I could buy larger and cheaper quantities of Lo-Han."

Title:Still Experimenting with Lo Han

Date:March 30, 2011

"I'm a first time user of Lo Han. I've used it on hot cereal, and found it has a slight after-taste, or maybe "sensation" would be a better term than "taste". It's not really bad, like artificial sweeteners leave, but still "there". I'd like to try it in cooking or baking, but there are no directions for substituting for sugar on the package. In fact, no suggestions for quantity use at all. I've assumed that one of the little scoops equals 1 teaspoon of sugar, but I don't know. I'm still experimenting!"

Title:Disappointed

Date:February 14, 2011

"Thought it would be better than stevia (which has a sort of bitter after taste) and taste more like sugar. That was not the case; in order to sweeten coffee to my liking; needed 4 scoops of sweetener which adds up to 8 carbs (equal to 2 teaspoons of table sugar). Did have a "saccharin" aftertaste. I can buy 5lbs of sugar for $2.54 and use 2 teaspoons to sweeten my coffee and get the same amount of carbs and sweetness for alot less cost, will not buy again."

Title:Great alternative sweetener

Date:February 10, 2011

"I cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners, due to severe migraines and varying degrees of agitation. This is not necessarily a bad thing, when you consider how dangerous artificial sweeteners are.

For years, I resigned myself to using limited amounts of sugar, honey, maple syrup and agave. But wanted to limit my carbs more. I was so disappointed to realize that even the natural "sugar alcohols", such as Xylitol, Sorbitol, Manitol, and even refined Stevia, affect me exactly the same as artificial sweeteners. I AM able to tolerate the green (unrefined) version, of ground Stevia leaf. However, have a hard time getting past the bitter after taste.

Recently, I learned about Lo Han, and after doing some research, learned that it is NOT a "sugar alcohol". So, with fear and trepidation, I decided to try it. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I did not get a migraine after several servings of Lo Han. I use it in my coffee and tea, and like the fact that it only has a minor after taste, and doesn't over sweeten my drink. I use anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 scoop, of Lo Han in my drinks, and find it very satisfying.

A thought I had, for the reviewer, who felt it wasn't sweet enough, for them. Try using a scoop, of the Lo Han, and adding 1/4 the amount of organic sugar, that they usually use. Then, at least they will be cutting back on their sugar intake."

Title:Better than stevia, but so is everything else

Date:January 26, 2011

"This product does not really provide, strictly speaking, as a former food manufacturer,a "sweet" taste. There is sweetness in the taste, but also other flavors which are not sweet. The inulin itself has a cleaner sweetness than the lo han fruit, which I have tried before undiluted with anything else. Compare the taste to sucrose, sugar, and you will "get" it. Sugar is the standard of "sweet" against which all other "sweet" is measured. But Lo Han isn't terrible, especially compared to stevia, the "purified" extract, whose sweetness can only be had with an array of other off-tastes."

This worked fine, & it tastes really good, no aftertaste at all, as I have heard can happen with stevia. I use 1 scoop for 2 large servings of my frozen yogurt, this ends up sweeter than the 2 tablespoons of sugar I was using before."
