How much Splenda is in a packet?

A standard Splenda packet contains about one gram of sweetener, which is equivalent to two teaspoons of sugar. This low-calorie option is ideal for those looking to reduce sugar intake. Many vending machines provide Splenda packets alongside other sweeteners to suit different preferences.
