Sweetener with Aspartame
What it is

When using this sweetener, remember that it is significantly sweeter than granulated sugar. You will typically need to use a much smaller volume to achieve a comparable level of sweetness. It can be stirred directly into hot or cold beverages like coffee, tea, or iced drinks. For cooking and baking, it can be incorporated into batters, doughs, or fillings. It dissolves readily, making it suitable for a wide range of recipes. Experiment with small amounts first to find your preferred sweetness level.
How it differs from similar foods
Its intense sweetness means a much smaller quantity is required. It also does not caramelize or contribute to browning in the same way that sugar does when heated.

Home cooks and individuals looking for sugar-free sweetening options often choose this product.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the sweetener in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent clumping and preserve its sweetness.
