This has just one ingredient - pure organic stevia extract. There are no corn based filler ingredients such as maltodextrin (found in many other powdered stevia products) or anything else in here.
The flavor is excellent, it tastes clean and crisp when you use the right amount. Keep in mind you only need a tiny bit of this stuff to sweeten anything. Less than 1/4 tsp. is enough to make 20oz of water as sweet as a fizzy drink. All stevia can have a slightly bitter aftertaste if you use too much of it, if it tastes bitter just reduce the amount you are using.
This concentrated powder will last a long time. It may seem expensive for such a small package, but you will only be using tiny dashes of it at a time. The value per serving is much better than most liquid stevias or powders with filler ingredients.
-- Tip for using (any) stevia in beverages and smoothies, not related to this product specifically --
I find that stevia tastes better in a recipe with any of the following (not all together):
- Fresh Lemon or Lime Juice
- Lemon Flavor such as
Frontier Lemon Flavor Certified Organic, 2-Ounce Bottle
- Citric Acid
- A dash of sea salt
- Electrolite drink powders that contain magnesium such as
Alacer Corp. ElectroMIX Emergen-C Lemon-Lime - Drink Mix: 30 PKTS (4.2 oz)
or
Natural Vitality Natural Magnesium Calm Original
- A very small amount of real sugar
- Any fresh fruit
These all seem to enhance the flavor, and sometimes can make the taste indistinguishable from sugar. Of course the last two (sugar and fruit) are going to add calories and carbohydrates that may not be acceptable for some people, but they really can be magic in the right recipe. If you can't have carbs the other things will work just as well sometimes. Experiment and find something that tastes good to you.
