Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 Hi There is some great tasting Stevia out there, but you have to know what to look for...I have looked High and low at the different types and brands of stevia. I found that not all stevia is alike. I first tried the little packets put out by " Now " .. it took so many of those little buggers to even hardly make a dent in sweetening Guar, that it never tasted sweet enough for me, and I gave up on making it.... I also bought the pure powder in a small container put out by Sweet Leaf.. and I can tell you that it is Gawd awful. But I found a great pure stevia put out by Kal. I found it at " Henry's " or " Wild Oats " here in CA. It is very sweet, no bitter or after taste, I love it! I am now making some wonderful tasting guar and boy does the right stevia make a difference. The key lime pie and the pumpkin pie guar are very yummy with ff yorgurt. I just found a stevia plant at my local nursery, so I am now growing it too! The leaves taste very sweet! I did have trouble with Splenda or I would not have looked at Stevia. It took a couple of weeks of ingesting it, and then I had some rather severe digestive problems. I have tried on two different occasions with the same results. I haven't tried the pure sucralose, so I don't know if that would have the same effect on me. Warren has told me that sucralose is inert and I should have no problems with it.
