I used to have the actual Stevia plant, but my dog kept eating it because of the sweet taste!! So, I decided to try this particular brand because of the rave review---I am so glad I did!! This is an excellent substitute in cooking, especially for family members who are diabetic!!
I added this to a pie recipe and the taste did not change.
This is a great product. BE CAREFUL, THIS STUFF IS SWEET!! I dipped the tip of a toothpick in the Stevia, TWICE, and my mother told me I made her coffee TOO sweet!!
Everyone's tastebuds are different. You have to try a very small amount to get the desired taste for yourself. If you put a bit on your tongue, you may or may not have an aftertaste, but in foods or drinks, there are none. This 16 oz. jar will go a long way.
I am going to purchase some Stevia cookbooks and try out their recipes.
I even searched the Internet and found no adverse effects of Stevia on humans reported.
It was such a big hit, I have had to order more for family members!!
Be Blessed.
