The taste is wonderful. All I taste is the sweetness and I can add the amount I want since it comes in a can rather than packets. The fiber is something I need and this is an easy way to get extra without having to take another pill.
Best tasting stevia!
This is the best tasting stevia on the market. It has no bitter aftertaste at all. The only drawback is the price. But it is worth it!
Excellent product--versatile and travel sized.
My husband (a diabetic) uses one teaspoon of this to sweeten one gallon of iced tea. Before we found out about stevia, my husband used Nutrasweet. However, that had the side effect of causing severe pain in his joints. He has experienced no side effects with stevia. In fact, he processes sugar better and complains of leg pains less. I use it sometimes, also. It's very sweet.
It's great!
Tastes great........ better than the toxic blue stuff.
Move over NutraSweet, Stevia Plus here I come!
Today, I use Stevia Plus in my coffee everyday and I absolutely love it! Not only does it taste great, but it has FOS which seems to keep me regular. Stevia Plus has been the perfect alternative to NutraSweet for me. I find that Stevia Plus is so much healthier for me than artificial sweeteners and sugar.
