I order it online from their website, or Netrition.

I've not tried that particular brand, but in my experience, monk fruit does well in baking. Most people say to use sweeteners synergistically, so I rarely use lo han by itself, but usually with Swerve and/or stevia. Lo han is mild. Nunaturals says their drops are 10 drops for a tsp of sugar equivalency, for instance, versus usually 3 for stevia.
