Upside and downside
Upside is no gastrointestinal upset from this product. Downside is monk fruit is not as sweet as other sweeteners so you need to use quite a bit more of this to get the same level of sweetness (making it less cost effective).
Overall, it's a non-sugar sweetener that tastes good and gets the job done, so I ranked it 5 stars.
In sub-category rankings:
Value for money, I gave it 4 stars.
Flavor, I gave it 5 stars.
I do recommend this if you find Erythritol is causing digestive upset. Just realize you will need more of this product to be comparable to Erythritol's sweetness. For example, in hot chocolate I need 1 tsp of Erythritol but I need to use about 2.5 tsp of Besti to get the same level of sweetness.
