Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Lo Han Sweet is a great low calorie sugar substitute primarily sweetened with all natural mogrosides extracted from the Lo Han fruit.
Mogrosides are about 250 times sweeter than sugar and have no calories. Unlike clean tasting sweeteners like sugar, fructose, SoooLite or xylitol, mogrosides have their own very distinctive flavor and aroma. Like sugar, mogrosides have a full body sweetness, but are more similar in flavor to sweeteners like brown sugar, maltose, and honey. Mogrosides taste and smell a little like brown sugar, with a hint of honey, coconut, and wheat, and have an amber color similar to honey. Because of the distinct flavor, its usefulness is somewhat limited to items that go well with its unique flavor.
There is no aftertaste at all; however the mogroside sweetness and flavor lingers in the mouth for several minutes. This sweetener's flavor blends very well with chocolates, cereals, coffee, breads, tea, etc. It does not go so well with something like vanilla ice cream or peppermint tea where the mogroside flavor is overwhelming. In such items a clean tasting no calorie sweetener like SoooLite will probably be a better choice. Usually, if a food tastes good with brown sugar or honey, it will taste good with mogrosides.
Lo Han Sweet also contains xylitol, which is a natural low calorie sweetener that prevents tooth decay. Xylitol is responsible for Lo Han Sweet's few calories. It has about 40% of the calories of sugar, tastes almost exactly like sugar, and is about as sweet as sugar. It complements the flavor of the mogrosides.
Lo Han Sweet is a great all natural low calorie sweetener that every cook could easily use to replace sweeteners like brown sugar, malt or honey in most recipes.
