I bought this by looking at all the other reviews thinking this stuff will be the equivalent to sugar, but more healthy like Agave Nectar "Not". I made a glass of tea & I tried a tablespoon & I could not tell even that I put it in, then I put in 2nd tablespoon & again nothing, then 3rd & same then fourth & it was the same, the only difference was now my tea was ruined because it was nothing but undissolved date sugar floating in my tea cup & the water was very hot so this stuff should have dissolved, but no not at all. I think this stuff would be good for things like instead of using white powdered sugar, use date sugar because it is not that sweet. It's all good because I also use other healthy sugar alternatives like ( raw organic Agave Nectar, raw organic honey & organic sugar cane sugar. Packaging was not bad, but for the price I did not expect anything special. It is another healthy option, but not for me because I want something that dissolves & something you can actually use in place of sugar & this was not doing it for me. 4 tablespoons & no change just swimming date grounded powder floating in cup. If your a light sugar type person then this may be what your looking for, but if you are a normal sugar type person that likes to actually taste there tea, then this may not be for you.
