Kratom Applesauce
Another great way to mask the unpleasant taste of Kratom is by combining it with applesauce. Kratom Times has shared a Kratom Apple Sauce Recipe and has even made sure that there is a sugar-free version for those who may not be fine with ingesting something sweet. American Kratom Association https://www.americankratom.org/abou-aka.html
“If you want a sugar-free applesauce, Gala, Golden Delicious or Fuji are the most recommendable options. If you intend to add sugar or any other sweetener to your applesauce, McIntosh apples are a great choice. Other apple varieties you can use for your applesauce are Paula Red, Crispin, Gravenstein, Jonathan or Jonamac. Honeycrisp apples, though sweet enough for applesauce, are too crispy. Pink Lady and Granny apples are too firm for the recipe and they also have a slightly tart taste that is not the most appropriate for making applesauce.”
