Stevia question

[Guest guest]

Oh yeah! I forgot about the liquid!

Here's a link that has some equivalents. It's near the bottom of

the page.

I looked on their website and saw one place where it said 1/3 tsb = 1C sugar

stevia question

Hi I thought about using stevia and found it in our health food store. It came both as a liquid and as granules. There was nothing on either package as to how much to use ----as in how much equals a teaspoon etc. Does anyone have any info on it and does it really do better things for your body than Splenda?

I purchased from WFN and have been reading lately that some people make their

own syrup type stevia from simmering the leaf in water. You can store that in

the refrigerator and it is supposedly easier to gauge how much you are using to

avoid the bitterness. I have found when using too much it is bitter.

I do also purchase from NOW products. www.nowcatalog.com. I buy a small bottle

of stevia in vegetable glycerin that I keep in my purse. Vegetable Glycerin is

probably bad for you but I use it occasionally. Great service and 40% off of

list prices on NOW brand vitamins, herbs, etc.

There is a white powdered version of stevia out there as well but I try to stay

away from the processed version as much as possible. I know several people who

just exclusively use the liquid or the powdered white version but some might

have fillers in it.

I have found that using the green leaf variety does not mess with my sugar

levels at all. I am not diabetic but do react to sugar.

That fine cut stevia leaf you bought at WFM is the worst quality and

difficult to work with at best. I suggest the ground whole leaf stevia

for use in soups and as a wonderful tea with fresh ginger and lemon

juices. I drink this exclusively and use it as the liquid ingredient

to saute root veg. I wrote a book with coconut and stevia - Coconut

Cuisine featuring Stevia. You can purchase the cut leaf variety at

wildernessfamilynaturals.com. SweetLeaf's stevia clear liquid and FOS

are my other suggestions.

Jan , this is very confusing. Are you recomending the cut leaf or are you saying

not to get that one.I see your book at Wilderness Family Naturals. That will be

the next book I buy!

Alobar,

I might add my favorite Stevia Liquid is Ancient of the Wisdom's Liquid

Concentrate. It's a brown liquid concentrate and does not carry any

aftertaste or chemical taste in it. You can find it at this link:

Hi i am wondering what brand and form of stevia is allowed? The only i

can find around here is called NuNaturals and it has maltodextrin added

to it. It is white and flowy like sugar. I have read things before that

say if your stevia is white it is processed. So where do i find a pure

stevia with nothing added?

TIA

I just bought NOW brand Stevia from Vitaglo since I did not need anything

from moutnainroseherbs. A 2 oz. container is only $1.92 and it's the green,

natural powder.

Does that one smell like a laxative (cascara sagrada) and taste a little bit

like it, too? I just tasted the one from NOW brand that I referred to in my

last post, and I am not sure I can get it down. I put ¼ tsp or less in a cup

of decaf and I still get that nasty aftertaste. The one I had before was

liquid (had bought it before finding this group) and it tasted much better.
