unsweetened are twice the price of sweetened. Why?

It's been my experience that if something is healthier there's a premium to pay. I don't understand this either but the dried cherries that I buy from Traverse Bay Fruit Co. are well worth it.

I want to know this, too. I've been buying pure stevia powder from Vitamin Shoppe so I'm wondering if there will be a difference from what I'm used to. How can this stuff seem so much sweeter?

It is unsweetened. I really like the quality of the tea and will buy again. It's a lot better than the Davidson brand that I bought before.

I purchased unsweetened (don't know if they sell a sweeten version) it has a more subtle coconut flavor than the sweetened alternatives. On the other hand you can control what kind and how much sweetener you want to use. It reminds me of unsweetened coconut milk. If baking with it, it does not yield the same effect as sweetened coconut.

I bought this product and was very pleased. I do believe it is unsweetened. it has its own naturally pleasant sweetness.

I compared it to Gatorade, and the savings is astronomical (because they're tablets without the added expense of bottled water, + minimal advertising - drinkers pay for a product's advertising, you know). I recommend that you compare Skratch's nutritional info with Nuun's side-by-side like I did with Gatorade.

On the boxes that I have aspartame is listed as the sweetener. Hope this helps you!

That seems a bit expensive to me if I am reading this corectly. I bought mine for less than $50.00 for 12.8 grams. Whole Foods has a better deal than $165.99.

It's unflavored so there's no sweetener in it at all. Also, Stevia is not artificial, it's a plant. Easy to confuse, but 'sugar substitute' and 'artificial sweetener' are not always the same. There are alternatives to sugar that are natural such as stevia and xylitol. The artificial ones are man-made like aspartame and saccharin. It's moot for this product though b/c none of those are in it! Sweeten with fruit, milk or whatever you like!

I prefer the unflavored organic whey protein mixed with (cow) milk. If you want a little extra sweetness add a table spoon of sugar. This is much better than the artificial sweeteners in flavored brands.

I'm not sure why they are different prices but one uses milk and one uses sugar water with the grains.

You are more aware than me! As far as I know there is none. I love this sweetener knowing it's natural and secondly it doesn't leave the after taste that some do. Just know that it isn't a cup for a cup. It's much more economical and takes a lot less. I found that about half is equal to a cup of sugar but that's preferential taste.

Erythritol is MUCH MUCH better than splenda, and MUCH healthier. Really no comparison. Erythritol has no after taste, just pure sweetness (a bit less sweet than sugar), andit's actually beneficial to health. No idea what Swerve is???

Use Splenda for a while, and imagine it in a much much much smaller quantity to get the same sweet, without as much aftertaste because there are no other fillers, additives or things like that. Like any other sugar substitute, it's all about moderation, if you use too much it may get sweeter, but there is a point where it tastes "wrong' so to speak.

That appears to be the cost now. I bought it in February; $12.99 for one box. Obviously I was not paying attention to the cost. The cereal was good (if you really like coconut) but even at that price way too expensive for my taste and budget. We use organic coconut oil for baking and drink almond/coconut blend milk (Silk brand from Whitewave) so we get the benefit of coconut that way at a reasonable cost

I use the Zero Erythritol packets in my coffee almost daily. It tastes more like sugar than Stevia. Sometimes I combine and other times I alternate between the Zero and stevia. I like both.

It depends on where you're shopping. These cost more at a local grocer near me (the only store that carries them around me) so it may be a deal for some. But seriously, I see so many questions of "why are they so expensive compared to where I get it?" on amazon, it's simple- its for those that have NO access. For those of you who do AND pay less, it's futile even asking questions like that.
