Thread: Stevia Anyone?

  1. #1

    Default

    Hi. I use both Stevia Plus and agave. I don't love Stevia...but it gets me through when I need some sweetener. It is in convenient packets, but I have to say, it doesn't seem to dissolve well.

    I do love the taste of agave syrup. It is supposed to be pretty low on the glycemic index and is not overly sweet.

    Try the liquid, I don't bother with powders. This is the one I buy:

    I only have the stevia in the green packets to carry with me in case I forget the bulk. I buy the loose powder. It only takes a dab or else it's bitter. If it's bitter then use less.

    I used to use the white powder, but since going raw, I've just avoided it. I don't like the taste of the green stevia (just the ground leaf).
    I really like agave. I'm out of raw honey, so I'm enjoying the agave nectar right now.

    I used to use the liquid one to sweeten teas but recently switched to the powder because I realized it ends up being much cheaper. It's the healthiest sweetener to use in things like teas but I've never really used it in raw recipes other than smoothies to sweeten it without real sugar like honey or agave.
