Yes, we too learned that Lakanto does not melt, although that's only rarely an issue. Also it's a bit on the expensive side, but ... worth it, I'd say. Thanks.

I have been using Lakanto for a few years now and travel with it as well. It tastes good by itself and you can bake with it as well. The only thing is it does not melt, as in caramelizing sugar. It will not cook into a syrup I think due to how it is based on Erythritol. Anyway, I also wrote a similar post on Lakanto as well if it is helpful. http://veggietracks.com/lakanto-too-sweet-to-resist-and-why-should-you/ Be Well - Mark Thank you for the post George.

You could always contact BodyEcology.com and put the question to them.

It looks and tastes like brown sugar, but there's no "sugar jolt" at all, so far as I can tell. Quite wonderful stuff, which I'm happy to use as and when I need it. I do wish it was a little cheaper, though. Having had a few months of Lakanto usage, I can say that it's quite delicious.
