Now makes an excellant product and amazon provides it at a very good price with prompt delivery. The trick to avoiding aftertaste with stevia powder is not to try to make the food too sweet. 1/16 of a teaspoon is enough for a 12 ounce cup of tea – sweet but not too sweet and no aftertaste. Use 1/8 of a teaspoon in 12 oz. of tean and the tea will taste as sweet as soda pop and the aftertaste will still be around an hour later.
I have been using this product as a sugar substitute for about a month (replacing aspartame – Equal) and recommend it without reservation.
I use stevia extract every day instead of sugar. This product is dependable. By the pound, it is far cheaper than the 1 ounce bottles sold in stores. I cook for diabetic people and this eliminates the sugar problem. It arrived promptly and in perfect condition. I will buy again.
For those unfamiliar with the amount to use – use 1/2 teaspoon of extract instead of 1 cup of granulated sugar.
The Now stevia is a good product. I buy it because it’s the only one I’ve found that comes in a one pound container. We use a lot of Stevia as we’ve totally replaced sugar in our diets. The taste is OK but it’s nothing to write home about. If you’re buying for taste and that’s your only consideration, buy Kal brand. It’s the best tasting of any I’ve tried!
