SweetLeaf Organic Stevia Extract, 0.9 Ounce

ممتاز كمية قليلة تعطي نتيجة كبيرة. لكن حجمه صغيرة جدا مقارنه بالسعر

I switched from Stevia Select to SweetLeaf Organic Pure Stevia Powder due to the price difference (I use stevia because I’m pre-diabetic). After using SweetLeaf, I experienced acute intolerance symptoms (nausea/malaise) shortly after consumption. Initially I did not attribute the symptoms to this product; however, after discontinuation and returning to Stevia Select, the symptoms resolved. Importantly, despite the name, SweetLeaf is not a “stevia-only” product. It contains inulin (a prebiotic fiber used as a bulking agent) and silica (an anti-caking agent), in addition to stevia extract. Inulin is known to cause GI intolerance symptoms (gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort) in some individuals. From a dosing standpoint, I typically need only 1/8 tsp of Stevia Select (tiny scoop included), but I found I needed approximately double that amount of SweetLeaf to reach a similar sweetness level—likely due to dilution from added ingredients. Both products mix well in beverages. However, due to the reproducible adverse effects I experienced and the presence of added ingredients, I cannot tolerate SweetLeaf and will not repurchase.

This product is very sweet. A serving equivalent to 1 tsp. of sugar is only 1/80 of a teaspoon. This did not come with a small measuring spoon, which would have been nice. The holes in the shaker top and HUGE, and it's extremely easy to add too much stevia. There was a learning curve for me, as it took several tries to get the desired sweetness in my coffee. As others have mentioned, it doesn't dissolve easily in hot coffee. I found it would eventually dissolve with continued stirring. I plan to try adding the stevia to the cup first, then stirring while you pour in your coffee, as mentioned in some other reviews. I found no off-tastes when adding normal amounts of sweetener to my coffee. If you overdo the stevia, it may develop on off-taste. For me, it mostly tasted fine, except when I added way too much to my coffee in the beginning as I was getting used to how little you need for sweetness. Again, if they added a tiny spoon or scoop to the stevia to help you judge how little you need, that would be very helpful and appreciated. I'm on the fence about whether I would buy this product again. This bottle will probably last longer than me, as I'm in my 70's and a little of this stevia goes a long way. I have no idea how well this would work in baking and other recipes. Probably I am not very likely to use this in baking. It is perhaps not the best choice for baking, as many recipes need the bulking derived from sugar itself, and sugar helps things brown nicely as well. It's a bonus that this is organic.

Great sweetener! Just a pinch is all you need. Happy with this.

You need very little of this for sweetening. Because it's pure stevia with nothing added, it has no bitter aftertaste like I've noticed from other stevia products lately. It's the real deal on this one. The taste is great!

I've used stevia for years but this particular one tastes waaay more sweet than the same brand other bottles I buy at a grocery chain. Don't know why.
