Keto maple syrup used to be impossible to find on a keto diet, let alone make at home… until now! This sugar-free maple syrup recipe captures all the thick, sticky texture and rich maple flavor of conventional syrups, without the carb spike. Plus, just like keto simple syrup and sugar-free chocolate syrup, this keto pancake syrup uses just a few simple ingredients!
If you plan on making your own sugar-free pancake syrup, the right sweetener is a must. I made it using erythritol for years because it was the only option available that didn’t have a strong aftertaste, but it didn’t dissolve well and would re-crystallize later. (Most sweeteners, even powdered ones, will do this, creating gritty syrup.)
Now I only use Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend for this reason: It stays dissolved for a super smooth syrup with all the sweetness of conventional powdered sugar! It’s the best way to make sugar-free syrup keto.

Is Maple Syrup Keto?
Conventional maple syrup does not align with a ketogenic lifestyle, as it contains a whopping 14 grams of sugar in just one tablespoon! Most other syrup substitutes contain fake flavors, high fructose corn syrups, or preservatives that either bump up the carb count or taste terrible. Luckily, it’s easy to make a low carb syrup that tastes just like the real thing — without the sugar spike. (You can also buy Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup, which has no artificial ingredients or aftertaste, if you’d rather not make your own.)
Why You’ll Love This Sugar-Free Maple Syrup Recipe
- Sweet maple flavor
- Smooth, thick, sticky, pourable texture
- Just 3 simple ingredients (plus water)
- Done in 10 minutes
- 0g net carbs per serving
- Stores for weeks
- Delicious on all your favorite breakfasts!

Ingredients You’ll Need
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for low carb syrup, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – The best natural sugar swap for this homemade keto maple syrup recipe! Unlike other powdered sweetener options, this one dissolves completely and stays dissolved for smooth and sweet results… and no aftertaste whatsoever. If you must use a different keto sweetener, keep in mind that it must be powdered for best results, and many brands will crystallize when storing.
- Maple Extract – Develops the natural flavors of maple, without the sugar. Extracts vary in potency and quality, so the amount you need and the taste can vary depending on what you use. Some brands are clear in color, which will affect appearance as well. I recommend this brand, which has great flavor and makes a beautiful golden sugar-free maple syrup.
- Xanthan Gum – A keto cornstarch substitute that helps thicken the low carb pancake syrup.
- Water

VARIATIONS: Make flavored keto syrup!
Add these flavors to your sugar-free maple syrup, all while keeping it keto-friendly:
- Flavor extracts – Add vanilla extract to the pot while simmering (in addition to the maple extract), or swap the maple with any other flavor you prefer!
- Fruit syrups – Simmer and mash keto fruit in a saucepan until soft. Strain and discard solids, then include fruit in the finished syrup.
- Add spices – Include cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, a fresh knob of ginger, or cloves to the syrup when storing. Infuse for 2-4 days, then strain out solids.
- Include citrus – Include citrus zest or peel when simmering.
- Add bourbon – Pour 1-2 tablespoons into the saucepan when simmering.
How To Make Keto Syrup
This section shows how to make keto pancake syrup, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below.
- Simmer. Add Besti, maple extract, and water to a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer and stir with a whisk occasionally, until sweetener dissolves.
- Whisk. Pour the keto maple syrup base into a medium bowl. (You can also use a blender, but the appearance is better if you whisk in a bowl.). Lightly and evenly sprinkle half of the xanthan gum over the top (do not dump).


- Thicken more. Sprinkle remaining xanthan gum over the syrup base and whisk again. Allow syrup to rest and thicken further.
- Enjoy. Transfer the sugar-free maple syrup to a bottle for pouring and storage.



TIP: Syrup still not thick enough?
Add more xanthan gum (1/16th teaspoon at a time) and whisk again. Be sure to sprinkle and avoid dumping it all in at once to avoid clumping.
Storage Instructions
- Store: Keep keto maple syrup covered in the fridge for up to 2 months. I recommend a glass bottle like this one for convenience.
- Reheat: If you like warm syrup (or used a sweetener that re-crystallized), heat in a saucepan on low heat until smooth and warm. You can also microwave in a glass bottle, which will heat but won’t fix crystallization.
- Freeze: You can freeze this sugar-free maple syrup, but I recommend making it fresh. The texture may change after freezing. If you do freeze, cover and store in an airtight container. Warm gently in a saucepan or thaw overnight before serving.

Ways To Use Keto Maple Syrup
This syrup adds an instant upgrade to just about any sweet keto breakfast! Serve it with these classic dishes.
- Low Carb Pancakes – Pour it over my classic keto pancakes, almond flour pancakes, coconut flour pancakes, or cream cheese pancakes.
- Keto Waffles – Pair this keto maple syrup recipe with almond flour waffles, coconut flour waffles, or chaffles.
- Hot & Cold Cereals – This sugar-free syrup recipe makes the perfect finishing touch on keto overnight oats, pancake cereal, or keto oatmeal.
- Snacks & Desserts – Use syrup to make keto energy balls or top keto ice cream.
Tools To Make Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- Glass Bowl Set – This set comes in a variety of sizes that nest together. I use a medium one for this keto maple syrup recipe.
- Whisk – You will need a whisk for this recipe. This one has a comfy handle and will work great.
- Syrup Dispenser – For easy pouring!

0Oh Maya,
This can’t be right? Made your keto maple syrup recipe, exactly as your instructions called for, and to put it mildly, it literally tasted like soap! Just AWFUL: awful taste, color, and consistency???
I am purchasing your ready made version because I so want a good Keto maple syrup and cannot believe this recipe is what your bottled recipe would be like: SO very far “off” from good-
Appreciate any feedback.
Sincerly,
Sherri,
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Sherri, Sorry to hear you had issues with the recipe. The bottled version is not based on this recipe, it’s totally different 🙂 so hope you like that better. That being said, if you want to make your own using this recipe, the most critical components for the right flavor and texture are the sweetener and extract you use. Assuming you already used Besti, if the flavor was off, it was probably the extract you used. This is the one I use and recommend. Hope this helps!
Melissa
0Great recipe – I’m always looking for new ideas and love the idea of making my own syrup!
Jessica
0I cannot believe how amazing this is! I made it for my son who has to have keto, and he loved it on our keto pancakes!! Thank you!
Julia Lutsenko
0So easy to make and so delicious! Definitely beats store bought!
Sandy Millar
0This is fantastic!!
Holli
0Hi, I was going to use my pyure sweetener but powder it in the blender, do you think that will work for this syrup? Someone said in the comments that their syrup crystallized, how do I avoid that? Thank you so much for your help. It is expensive to try recipes! By the way I am loving seeing all your yummy looking vegetable recipes and I can’t wait to make your strawberry jam recipe.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Holli, If your syrup starts to crystalize simply reheat then either shake (if stored in a bottle or lidded container) or whisk it in the pan until it’s smooth again. I always suggest Besti Powdered Erythritol because I know it will dissolve all the way, I cannot guarantee the same results with Pyure.
Holli
0There is no keto brown sugar in this recipe? Is this the same recipe that you sell? I found another recipe for keto syrup but it had a lot of brown sugar substitute in it. This recipe is easier and less expensive, I hope it will taste good! Have a good thanksgiving, thank you for your recipes.
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Holli, No brown sugar is required. This is not quite the same recipe as Wholesome Yum Maple Syrup, but this recipe is a great alternative.
Todd
0I started making keto bricks. I would like to incorporate a maple flavor into the bricks. Do you think it would be best to make the syrup or could I just use the maple flavoring? Thanks
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Todd, I think that would depend on the consistency of your recipe. If you need more liquid you could use maple syrup, if not just use maple flavoring.
Daniel
0Once I blended it, it lost it’s color. Is that normal?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Daniel, It is normal for the syrup to be a light brown color.
Sarah
0Thank-you for a wonderful recipe for maple syrup! I made it with Allulose and used the maple extract you recommend and it was delicious and the right thickness. The Allulose maple syrup I was buying from Amazon was expensive and watery thin. Highly recommend this recipe.
Carolyn
0What kind of “fibre syrup” do you use in your Low Carb Granola Bars?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Carolyn, That is an old version of the recipe. It used a syrup that is no longer available. I’ve improved on the recipe and you can find the Low Carb Keto Granola Bars recipe here.
Melissa
0Is it ok to continue to whisk while sprinkling the xanthan gum instead of transferring to a blender (don’t have one) and also, where would I buy it? I’m new to this and never even heard of it
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Melissa, Xanthan gum can be found online or at most local health food stores. It is even starting to pop up in some traditional grocery stores. Just check the special diets or baking aisles. You can make this recipe without a blender, but be sure to whisk well while the syrup ingredients are still hot. If hand whisking, it may be easiest to do this in phases. Sprinkle in a portion of the xanthan gum, then whisk until fully combined. Repeat this process until all the xanthan gum has been worked into the recipe and has become thick in consistency. Enjoy!
Susan Belles
0I made this today to serve over pancakes for the grandbabies (had all 4 overnight)… They are ages 6,5,4, and 2… the 5yr old said “Nahna, this is the best syrup I ever had!” I may thicken it a little more next time, or maybe not since they loved it so much! I did use 1/2 monk-fruit, and 1/2 Swerve Brown… I’m not a syrup eater, but even I liked it!!
Arlene B
0I’m liking this recipe, but I’d like to know, can I substitute guar gum instead? Can’t wait to try it. Also, have you ever tried it with the allulose brown sugar substitute?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Arlene, Gum Guar will work but you will need to increase the amount to 1 tsp to get the same thickness.
Kirsty
0Can I replace the erythritol with xylitol ?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kirsty, If you can find a powdered version of xylitol, then yes, you can use that in place of erythritol.
Denise
0This was awful and I made it just as you said ;( just a real lack of taste, and looked more like jello when it first starts to firm up.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Denise, Sorry this didn’t turn out as expected. Maple extracts can vary greatly in flavor and quality. You would likely need to adjust the amount depending on how strongly flavored the brand you used is.
A
0I used your recipe as a template, added brown sweetener instead of regular erythritol and also added a small pat of butter. It tastes far better than maple syrup – not as sweet, and you can control the maple flavour by the amount you put it. It’s a winner, and so easy to make! No need to buy keto maple syrup again. Thanks for the recipe!
Veronica
0Hello Maya! Can I use any kind of extract for flavouring this syrup, like almond, vanilla, strawberry, or banana?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Veronica, Sure! Have fun getting creative!
Karen
0I’ve been making this syrup for a couple of years and have finally solved the crystalization problem. Instead of a stevia/erythritol mixture, I use a stevia/monkfruit mixture. It was the erythritol that was causing the crystals. Now when I make this syrup, I know I’ll be getting the full use out of the recipe.
Larry
0I already have the Monk Fruit/Erythritol on hand, can I use that instead of the Erythritol?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Larry, Yes, but you will need less sweetener than the recipe calls for. Use this handy sweetener calculator to determine how much you will need.
LIZ Y Santiago
0I bought the one you make and it was amazing!!!!! Just a question can it be store outside the fridge?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0So glad you like it, Liz! Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup is best to refrigerate after opening to be safe, but don’t fret if you forget and leave it out – I’ve had it out for a few days before and it was fine.
Viola
0Hi Maya, I am trying to make a keto cookie for my birthday using a Joy the baker recipe that uses maple syrup. It would be pretty easy to adapt it to keto as it’s almond flour based, but I am struggling with how to replace the maple syrup. Could I use your maple syrup recipe in it? Not sure if I am allowed to post a link, but the recipe is called “currently: my favorite cookies”. I would love to order your besti maple syrup for baking, but I don’t think you ship to Canada at this time. Would that be changing at some point?
If your home made maple syrup may not work well for baking, would you have any suggestions on how to go about replacing the maple syrup in Joy’s recipe? I am very new to keto baking and don’t want to waste the expensive ingredients. If I use maple extract instead, what other changes would I need to make to the recipe in your opinion?
Thank you so much!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Viola, Besti Sweeteners and Wholesome Yum Foods products (including Keto Maple Syrup) are now available in Canada! Order them at WholesomeYumFoods.com
Betsy
0Just made this. So simple. I had everything I needed and in under 10 min it was done. I do NOT like real maple syrup and always bought the crappiest stuff on the shelf to use on my pancakes. (The cheaper the better because it had less maple flavor). Well this recipe is perfect for me. I have he maple extract and can add as little as I need so that I don’t get over-mapled, lol. I did follow this recipe exactly and from what I was able to taste it was good for me. I can’t wait for it to chill and have it with my breakfast tomorrow. Thank you for another easy and great recipe.
Madelyn Bedard
0Hello, I cannot believe how good this recipe is. It taste like the real maple syrup I use to buy Thank you so much. Please continue giving us those great recipes. 🙂
Andrée
0J’aime vraiment beaucoup ce sirop. Recette facile à faire, je l’utilise avec la recette de crêpes elles sont vraiment très très bonne. Merci bcp pour toutes les belles recettes que vous partagez avec nous. J’ai votre livre de recette et je l’adore. 🙂
Steve Sager
0This recipe is fantastic. I’ve been using it for a year or so almost every morning. Additionally I use this in other recipes when they call for maple syrup. (Like my AIP waffles w/ celery pulp.) I make about six cups of this Maple Syrup at a time so that I am not making a new small batch every other day, Virtually everything I eat is organic so I’ve made these changes: Olive Nation “Organic Pure Maple Flavor” (same brand as the extract recommended by ‘Our Lady of the Wholesome Yum’, Besti Erythritol – blended with Trader Joe’s Organic Stevia Extract to make the sweetener’s strength 5x and reduce the volume accordingly, and for my taste I only use 1/2 the amount of non-GMO Xanthan gum. One time I accidentally made Sugar Free maple syrup using another recipe. It was weak. It took me awhile to figure out my mistake. Sorry about my false alarm Maya and a very big thank you to you.
I’m a Paleo/AIP guy, any chance you’ll branch into more Paleo/AIP recipes?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Thank you so much for sharing, Steve! I do have a paleo recipe index here – it’s technically called “Paleo Option” because some recipes in there have a substitution given to make it paleo.
Jennifer Berry
0Steve, how much trader Joe’s stevia extract do you use? This is our go to sweetner also. Thank you!
Mel
0I used 1/2 cup of swerve powder sugar, the full amount of xanthan gum. I used mccormick maple extract and the color is light tan. the taste is good. I forgot to simmer, and the texture is thinner than I would like. I am hoping the texture might thicken once it completely cools off.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Mel, Xanthan gum thickens with heat. You will need to simmer your syrup to thicken it.
Kayla Strandness
0Hi Maya, I am sorry if I missed it somewhere, but does this need to be refrigerated and how long is it good for? TIA
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kayla, Yes, please store this syrup in the fridge. It will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Enjoy!
Sherina Warstler
0Just tried this recipe and absolutely love it! I almost didn’t try it because it was “too simple”. I am glad I did. It was perfect on my keto pancakes. Thanks for this recipe!
Bonny H
0Can you use besti powdered allulose? And if so, how much?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Bonny, Yes, Besti Powdered Allulose will work. Please use the same amount as written in the recipe.
Maddie
0That was so gross! Nothing like maple syrup and the smell was horrible! I love most of your recipes but this is not one of them!!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Maddie, I am sorry this recipe didn’t turn out as expected. This recipe really highlights the maple extract, so it likely won’t smell or taste good if you are using a lower quality maple extract.
Susan
0Thank you Maya first for including the information about the sugar crystals as knowing this I was less concerned (disappointed) in the liquid transformation during storage. The tip about grinding the sugar was excellent. I will never buy Swerve Icing Sugar again and instead purchase bulk Erythritol. Of course, I will continue to purchase liquid monk fruit and stevia. I always cut the sweeteners in Keto/Lowcarb recipes and only used a third of the recommendation and enjoyed the syrup. Fancy Canadian Maple Syrup is very thick, though I prefer more fluidic for easy pouring and add added the xanthan gum slowly to achieve the perfect viscosity. Please to have found your recipe.
Xeiran
0I found adding 1/4 or so cup oil (margarine or butter) adds greatly to the taste and smooths out the consistency to be more syrup-like (though it’s no longer calorie-free). I also found this recipe a bit on the sweet-side, but another 1/2 tbsp maple extract balanced the flavor nicely for me.
zee zee
0OMG, this was so unbelivably sweet to me. I needed a little more xanthan gum for the right texture. The xanthan gum and the maple extract were good ingredients to learn about. I will try to make this again, with the same amount of water and xanthan gum, but half the erythritol and see how that works out.
MG
0Yes when I made this I used half the sweetener and it was perfect. 1 cup was also way too sweet – I also used gracular monkfruit sweetener with erithritol/lakanto and it worked just fine. Be aware – some maple flavorings may have MSG – they won’t necessarily divulge this, but my friend who does NAET work muscle tested a store brand and it tested “positive” for MSG. I also added the xanthan gum a tiny bit at a time while cooking on very low heat and it worked great without clumping. I bought organic maple flavoring online just to be safe for any more batches.
Elena
0Hi I have tried this recipe and it tastes really good but I feel like no matter what I do it won’t thicken enough and always has a water like consistency with only the bit at the very bottom feeling like syrup. Do you have any tips or tricks to help make it thicker? I also use guar gum instead of Xanthan gum because I have a severe corn allergy, does that make it less thick? Other than that I love this recipe
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Elena, Guar gum doesn’t require heat to activate, but it does require a good bit of agitation. Also, with guar gum you will need to use more than the listed amount for xanthan gum. Increase to 3/4 – 1 tsp of guar gum and place in a blender with the rest of the ingredients. It may not appear to have thickened up much right away but will continue to thicken as it gets colder in the fridge.
Karen D.
0You could try finely grinding up some chia seeds into a powder and adding some of that to your syrup mixture. I do that when I want to thicken my sugar-free jam, and it adds nutrients and fiber. Chia seeds have that gelatinous quality that makes them a good thickener for some applications.
Elena
0Thank you so much I will definitely try that
Laverne
0Hi there. All I have is a mix of erythritol and Stevia. Do you know how much I should use? Thanks
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Laverne, I have a great resource for you. Use this Keto Sweetener Calculator to find out how much of your preferred sweetener to use in recipes. With that said, I don’t think that sweetener will work in the maple syrup recipe because it isn’t powdered sweetener.
Kathleen
0Can I make this with Stevia instead of Erythritol? If so how much Stevia should I use?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Kathleen, Yes, but I cannot tell you exactly how much. Check with the manufacturer of your stevia. Each brand usually has it’s own proprietary blend, so the level of sweetness will vary.
Carmon
0Cool! Going to try once I run out of the real tapped from tree maple syrup. Need to cut these carbs down. Thanks so much!!! Been doing coconut flour whipped egg white waffles, so this we make them even better. 🙂
Barbara
0Thank you for another great recipe. Made it today and it tastes great. Maybe I’ll use a bit less sweetener next time. Will it stay good in the pantry or does it have to be refrigerated?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Barbara, This syrup needs to be refrigerated.
Marie
0Hi. I’m wondering if I could use Stevia as a sweetener, it’s all I’ve got. Thank you!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Marie, Yes, but check with the manufacturer of your stevia to know exactly what the sweetness level is. You will probably need to adjust the amount of sweetener used based on your brand of stevia.
Janavieve Everage
0Can I replace xanthum gum for guar gum?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Janavieve, Yes that will work fine.
Jill C
0Thank you for your attempt at improving our world with new Keto recipes, however, if I may share my attempt. On my second attempt, I put in 1/2 the amount of sweetener that your recipe called for, plus added 2 Tlb of butter & 1/8 tsp of lemon juice to the mix. Bear in mind, I am in my seventies & I have worked at cutting way back on my sugar, as opposed to accommodating my sweet cravings…thus the amount suggested. I find in adding butter, it adds richness & the wee bit of lemon juice brings out the maple flavor. Thanks again & enjoy the rest of the day 🙂
Kayla Strandness
0Hi can I ask if you used salted or unsalted butter? I really want to try this.
Ann
0Can I use anything else to thicken the maple syrup, other than xanthine gum?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Ann, Xanthan gum is the best choice, as it won’t harden or gelatinize in the fridge.
Megan
0Hey there! What’s the best way to store this? In the fridge or at room temperature?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Megan, Store this in the fridge. If it crystalizes when it gets cold, no worries, just reheat before using and it will dissolve.
Micki
0Thank you so much for this awesome-sounding recipe. But in the “body” of this page, you state to add the Xanthun gum while continuing to whisk on the stove. But in the recipe itself you state to add the pre-gum mixture to a blender and then add it. Does it make a difference which of those two ways we choose to do it?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Micki, Either method is fine. The trick is for the maple syrup mixture to be hot when adding the xanthan gum.
Micki
0Ok thanks very much!
Chi
0What are the measurements? I don’t see them here
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Chi, You may need to turn off your browser’s reader mode to be able to see the recipe card.
Gail Stultz
0what is sukrin fiber syrup? and where do you but it? or can you make it?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Gail, You can find it here.
Angie
0It tastes good but the color looks like chicken gravy. Is there a food coloring to add?
Trying to trick my family into trying it would be easier.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Angie, Pour your homemade syrup in a traditional maple syrup bottle. You will probably have more success than you think! If the color is too far off, you can look for a caramel food coloring.
Karen
0I thought the same thing about the color, but the taste won me over. However, I purchased Mapletine maple flavoring online and it’s much, much darker than the other brand McC’s that I used to buy locally. Hope this helps.
Sandi
0I have to say If I rated your syrup recipe I would only give it a 2 star and only because I understood and liked your concept of a keto friendly, low carb syrup Even through the overpowering Erythritol aftertaste and overly heavy sweetness, I loved the maple flavor. What I couldn’t get past was the texture and thickness of the syrup. It was literally like pouring pudding. I started over .
This time I powdered swerve, used half the amount called for in the recipe and cut the xanthum gum powder In half as well. Huge improvement. Still very sweet, not overwhelming, but still WAY thicker than a good pourable syrup. Started over. Cut the xanthan gum to 1/8 tsp and what do ya know, a real syrup consistency. Slightly thicker than say, pouring Mrs Butterworth’s and because I made this syrup for the keto diet and to put on your wonderful almond flour pancakes, I decided to add 1 TBSP of ghee to the syrup rather than my pancakes and oh my gosh, my own Mrs B’s without the guilt.
I appreciate all the time and effort you have put into the wonderful recipes that you publish and that I have enjoyed cooking. It has Greatly Helped make my keto diet tasty and successful. Thank you.
Becky
0Thank you for this! I’m never buying syrup from the store again. It was so easy! 🙂
GG
0Very tasty. I only had maple flavoring with both natural and artificial flavors. I added a bit more to boost the flavor. Used with 0net carb (Aldi) bread/french toast. A nice Sunday breakfast on a very cold Chicago morning.
Debby
0Can the maple extract and Erythritol be added directly to the waffle batter for a shortcut? Maple flavored waffles. Just a thought.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Debby, I think that should work. Please let us know how it turns out!
Kris Oveson
0This recipe on your low carb almond flour pancakes, YUMMY. And so easy to make. Delicious.
Holly
0SO easy and very good! Thank you!
Elisa Julia
0I’m so happy I stumbled across your blog and this recipe! I made your keto maple syrup (on top of someone else’s pancake recipe but will try your pancakes next so sorry lol) anywho, I absolutely loved the syrup and was the best keto maple syrup I have tried. So much better to make at home and WAYYY better tasting than store bought brands where I live. Thanks so much!
