It's like sugar, but sweeter-Be cautious with how much you consume!
I may have overlooked these details while scanning through other reviews, but I found that Lakanto is SWEETER than regular granulated sugar. In certain recipes I actually need less than what i would have used normally with sugar. I do appreciate that fact, because this product is not cheap. I have found it has (not an aftertaste), but an after-"feel", which does not bother me. It leaves a cooling sensation in the mouth if consumed at room temperature or colder. The effect isn't SUPER noticeable, but it's there. Also, I noticed in some baked goods, Lakanto does not completely meld (visually) with other ingredients, you can see that the granules kind of darken after being baked. It does not change the texture or taste of final product, and that's what matters. Update 8/15/16: STILL sweeter than sugar. WOW. I subbed for sugar in a brownies recipe 1:1 and they came out too sweet. I'll do about 25% less by volume when I bake again. WARNING: After having just one 3x3 serving of my brownies, I had gastrointestinal...distress... for 2 hours last night! I think the amount I had proved to be too much for my poor digestive system and lets just say today I am dehydrated. Omg its like prune juice on crack! Definitely going to have to use less...
