4.0 out of 5 stars Good Alternative to Sugar January 16, 2012

By Henry Patel

Size Name:3.5 oz

As someone who has lived with diabetes for the past 11 years, I've done quite a bit of research to find a healthy (and cost-effective) alternative to sugar to satisfy my cravings for something sweet when the occasion arises, and it arises more often than not! I discovered Stevia 3 years ago and after trying every brand imaginable I settled on this one as a viable option for the foreseeable future. One thing I hadn't planned on was my new sugar substitute to start causing me gastrointestinal problems. Nothing serious but definitely not what I wanted.

I learned that most stevia products contain something called Xylitol, a very inexpensive sweetener that is commonly added to stevia and the main culprit was causing my gastrointestinal problems. I found a product online (amazon also) that did not include this ingredient in their stevia powder; 30 Grams Stevia 95% Steviosides Bulk Powder. If I wouldn't of needed this particular brand for it's level of purity, the low cost itself would have been enough for me to switch over in a heartbeat. Stevia is a fantastic alternative to sugar, and a sure way to lower one's risk of health problems down the road. I highly suggest everyone try it, diabetes or not!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sweetener on the market at the best value. April 8, 2011

By J. Turmel

We absolutely love this stevia in our house and have been using it for about a year now. After reading some of the other reviews, I thought I'd post a review including information on how to measure it. Kal stevia 3.5 oz size comes with a small scoop (some pure stevia products don't and the scoop is really nice to have). We "calibrated" our scoop and found that one scoop of stevia sweetens as well as 1 tbsp of sugar. So, if you like a tbsp of sugar in your coffee then you need a scoop. If you like a teaspoon in your tea, than you need about 1/3 of a scoop (about the size of a grain of rice). This makes sense because we found that there are about 34 "scoops" in a teaspoon, which means about 100 scoops makes a tablespoon. So it is accurate to say that this is 100 times sweeter than sugar. In conclusion:
1. We have found that there is no aftertaste or side effects from using this stevia when it is measured carefully.
2. If you accidentally get a mouthful of too much stevia there IS an aftertaste, so blend it in well.
3. If you accidentally use too much you will get an aftertaste too.
4. This product purchased on Amazon is the best value for stevia that we have found anywhere!
5. One final note, the only dessert I have used this in is rice pudding. The pudding comes out a little less thick, but tastes the same. Use the correlation of 1 scoop of stevia for every tbsp of sugar in your recipe and you should be ok.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishingly Good September 16, 2011

By Matt

I've been looking for sugar substitutes for quite some time, and have never been happy with my options. I thought stevia was the best, but most preparations I tried had a very strong chemical or licorice-like aftertaste that I figured I'd just have to live with. After reading the reviews of this extract, however, I decided to gamble and buy a bottle. When it arrived, I dug out the tiny serving spoon -- very important, as you don't need much of this extract at all -- and sprinkled a dose into my iced tea.

I can't find words to describe how impressed I am with this preparation. First, it may seem pricy, but the ridiculously small amount you use means the large bottle contains over 2300 servings. Second, the flavor of this sweetener is amazing, with no aftertaste whatsoever when I use the correct amount. Dosing takes a little getting used to, coming from the packeted versions of the sweetener that use lots of bulking agents, but once you get the hang of it you'll end up with perfect sweetness every time. I could mistake this for sugar in iced tea, something my incredibly picky taste buds have never allowed me to say about any other sweetener on the market.

My tips: if you're sweetening a cold drink, try sprinkling the extract on the bottom of your glass and then pour in the liquid. If you pour it on top, you will need to do a little stirring to get it to dissolve, but if you add it first the agitation from the drink as you pour will usually do the trick. Also, if you are overly sensitive to sweetener aftertastes, you might want to use slightly less; I started to detect the familiar stevia aftertaste if I used a rounded scoop of the extract.
