Customer Rating: Summary: Now's Stevia Extract is Wonderful Comment: I have been using Now's Stevia Extract for a year now and am totally satisfied. I like sugar, but not the fat. Nutra-Sweet and Equal have negative health issues and are expensive. I use Stevia in my iced tea, on my cerial, and I bake pies with it. Other than slightly clouding my tea, it tasts wonderfully sweet with no calories. I like buying it by the pound, and Amazon has the best price. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellant product - good price Comment: 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.
