Organic Yacon Syrup by Alovitox - Natural Sweetener Rich in Antioxidants, Vitamins, Prebiotics Helps with Low Glycemic Index, Low Calorie - Organic, 8 Oz (Pack of 1)

This is the only sweetener I found--at least, that I liked the taste of--that DIDN'T upset my stomach or g.i. tract! (Of course, I only took 2 teaspoons full in my coffee--I don't want to push my luck--but that was perfect level of sweetness for my big 16oz espresso-latte, amazingly!) I really enjoy the taste--it tastes like caramel, but slightly deeper, like roasted (or toasted) caramel. (You know how coffee tastes sweeter, the darker the beans are roasted? It's like that, but of caramel instead of coffee. Perfect!) Yet it doesn't linger as super sweet aftertaste in my mouth, the way monkfruit or honey does (I dislike honey due to that excess sweet taste lingering.) Also, as a diabetic, I was very relieved to discover that this Yacon Syrup did not affect my blood sugar level! (I could tell by the way I feel: sugar and honey make me sluggish, sleepy, fuzzy-headed. But this Yacon Syrup had NO impact-it didn't cause "brain-fog" nor sugar-spike of my blood sugar!, and my blood glucose tested out normal!!) Now, I'm not thrilled at the price, but to me, it's so worth it, because I detest all the other sweeteners I have used including Splenda, erythritol, Stevia, etc. (Plus they really tear up my gut!) I like Equal barely, but only in iced tea (and in whipped cream); it doesn't taste good in my coffee or anything else. So I don't bother with it. And it tastes great in my huge bucket of strong coffee! Bingo!NOTE: The only other 3 sweeteners that I do like the taste of are Allulose (yum!), Xylitol (good in tea! But deadly to dogs!) And Monk-fruit (Tastes fantastic!...but...)So here is my reasoning:-Allulose tastes great! And NO after-taste. No fake taste, either. But it only sweetens my latte somewhat (so I must add a bit of sugar,) since if I use a 3rd tsp of Allulose, I found I have a bit of g.i. issue (just a mild stomach ache; not bad, but usually these things get worse every day wirh use, so I won't push my luck.) I'll use Allulose occasionally, especially to take some with me (since Yacon Syrup is not easily made "portable"! It's far too sticky and messy-like honey.)-Xylitol, I've used for 10+ years, I love it in iced tea, lemonade, etc.-it's perfectly delicious! It doesn't sweeten my coffee enough though, at least, I'm not going to add more, as even 2 spoonfulls give me slight g.i. issues over time, but a bit more each day (but over time, it became a predictable way to keep "regular".😬 But not severe like Maltitol or Sorbitol. Just won't wait....) But worst of all, my dog got into it TWICE and both times almost DIED! Xylitol can kill your dog in under 30 minutes--it makes dog's blood sugar drop to deadly levels in moments! Very toxic to them! It is very costly to have the vet save them ($5,000 each time!) as dog needed hospitalization for days! They may never fully recover completely. So I can't risk that (or afford that!)***Hint: IF your dog ever eats or licks Xylitol, immediately call Poison Control (yes, the vets say to call Poison Control, just as you would for a human! Really!!) Poison Control told me to quickly rub some corn-syrup (Karo, etc.) under their gums, around dog's teeth, to help bring dog's blood sugar back up towards normal, and take your dog to a vet, immediately as they'll need IV of sugar solutions for a day or more.--Monk-fruit is the 3rd sweetener, and I think I will like it, but it's sooo sweet, I'm still playing with the scant amount you are supposed to use. But it would likely be good in sour drinks like lemonade. Again, it's super sweet, and has a super sweet aftertaste (like honey does, but far sweeter!) It's not at all bad, but I just need to get the right dose so as not to over-sweeten the food in question. But so far, no stomach upset or g i. issues.)

Unfortunately this spikes my sugar readings. Otherwise, it's good and wish I can use

I bought this looking for an alternative to honey and other sweeteners. Like one reviewer wrote, other sweeteners like stevia, etc, has an aftertaste. I guess I was expecting this to be somewhat almost sweet like honey, but it is not very sweet in my opinion. But im trying to cut back on sugar, so even the subtle sweetness helps in my coffee a little bit. I still sometimes add monkfruit to help sweeten my coffee a little more. So the combination of yacon syrup and monjfruit adds just a little sweetness. I would say this product is better for drizzling of food like pancakes, fruit, toast, etc. but not to sweeten coffee if you like your coffee somewhat sweet like me. I would compare it maybe to date syrup because it does have slight tart taste, but not by very much. It noticeable but its not a deal breaker for me. Besides the sweetness i mainly bought it for its prebiotic properties. Also, I don't feel the sugar high like when i consume honey or agave, so I would agree that it does not affect my blood sugar very much which is a plus. I will try other brands to see which one i prefer. This product can still help you cut back on sugar because you can use half the sugar if you add this to your meal or drink.

I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this product, but I ended up really liking it! It has a pleasant, mild flavor, and I love it in my coffee! Also, I liked that it is a healthier alternative to artificial sweeteners! It was a little messy, and I kind of wish it came in a small squeeze bottle or something. Nonetheless, I will buy it again! I'm glad I stumbled upon this product!

Try to reduce carb and heard about this, but it taste totally different to regular sugar or honey, so try it first before adding to any of your drink or food, you may not like it or may not fit into your recipe

The media could not be loaded. My syrup arrived safe and sound sealed tightly assuring its freshness. Upon opening it I dipped my finger into it to get a little taste, and it was just amazing!! I don’t understand why this syrup has been kept a secret from the world! Every grocery store should carry this!Alovitox is the smoothest, richest tasting product I have had thus far, so here is where I stop looking! When you find the best you gotta stick with it — and this is the best by far!I have read some of the other reviews of people describing how it taste, and it’s really kind of hard to explain. I think saying a mixture of honey and molasses - but not nearly as thick - with a bonus little yummy yummy at the end, is the best way for me to relay my interpretation of the taste. It is very smooth, easy to use, and mixes well!!Why not give it a try?? I’m sure glad I did!!
