Calorie free sweetener packets
What it is
These are individual packets containing a sugar substitute. The sweetener is typically a blend of artificial sweeteners that are many times sweeter than sugar, so only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired taste. They are convenient for on-the-go use and precise portioning.
How people cook with it

Simply tear open a packet and stir the contents into your beverage or food. The fine powder dissolves quickly in liquids. You can use one or more packets depending on your personal preference for sweetness. It is a straightforward way to adjust the taste of your food and drinks without altering their texture significantly. Experiment with the amount to find your ideal level of sweetness.
