Customers like the taste, concentration, and value of the sugar substitute. They mention it's the best sweetner ever, goes a long way, and is very concentrated.
Woaw. I'm impressed! My first time buying a "stevia" product was about 5 years ago, like with most people, it was "Truvia", which ended up being nothing more than a sugar alcohol and other stuff. I looked very hard all over the place to find pure stevia extract that wasn't diluted with variants of sugar. It's through a comment of one of these "deceitful" stevia products that I heard about this particular brand. And I'm glad!
This is very concentrated solution. 3 drops was enough for me to sweeten a cup of plain yogurt. But be very careful, a drop literally means a "drop"- the tiny little amount that collects at the top of the dropper when you dip it into the bottle. I initially made the mistake of filling the dropper half-away and dumping it into my drink. That's how you end up with an after-taste. The key to using this product is using tiny little dropplets- barely squeeze the dropper. If you get an after taste you've added too much. I couldn't tell the difference between it and sugar, except that I didn't crash after sweeting my "sweet lassi" with it.
My nutritionist recommended I switch to liquid stevia. I wasn't sure as I've always used Truvia packets. This stuff is great. I use two drops inn coffee/tea. Will last a good long time.
I bought this product and really liked how it sweetened everything. But after a few weeks it started turning cloudy. After looking up online whether this was normal, it seemed as though Stevia is not to turn cloudy. I found that if it does turn cloudy, it could be contaminated with something!?!? So, unless someone tells me otherwise, I have to throw this product away! What a waste :(
