I use it for anything that requires sweetness and I don't want the sweetener to influence the taste. It also disolves easily. For example, I'll use it to bump up the sweetness level of cereal or perhaps when fruit like blueberries or strawberries aren't quite at their peak. And again, it is one of the sweeteners that don't have an impact on glucose levels.
Whatever you do, stay away from refined sugar. You can get the same taste from organic brown sugar - it just isn't an pretty and doesn't flow as smoothly. And the one thing worse than refined sugar is high fructose corn syrup. I think Kayro (spelling?) white corn syrup is basically that chemical but their dark stuff is not. But check the label!!
