Just Great,
March 13, 2008
From Great Britain
Brilliant stuff. For medical (not weight loss) reasons I have been on a sugar free diet for several years. Since this also includes no fructos and no sugar alcohols - maltitol, erythritol etc - and I wouldn't want to use aspartame for obvious reasons, it has been a bit grim at times.
But now I have three excellent sugar substitues, and I bake, make ices and desserts and even my own chocolate using cocoa, cocoa butter and these sweetners.
I rank these sweetners in the following order of usefulness
1) Slim Sweet (available Iherb) - a 100% natural extract of the Lo Han fruit it is 100% carb free and 60x sweeter than sugar. I rate this highest because it is so natural and because it has quite a rich, round taste profile almost a tiny bit like brown sugar. 10/10
2) . Really easy to use. No aftertaste. Excellent. Only one teeny down side is that it is rather ''chemically'' produced. The flavour is hightly similar to sugar but a little bit ''empty''. Mix it with Slim Sweet and you have something 100% as delicious as brown sugar only no calories and good for you. 9/10
3) Stevia - only the NuNaturals brand is good (I've tried them all). I still use quite a bit of stevia as I think it is wise to use some of everything. That way there are no health risks of any sort and stevia has been used for many decades in Japan with good outcomes. But used on its own stevia does tend towards some bitter profile. The best brand by far is NuNaturals and the their pure extract is amazing - you only need 1/100th of teaspoon to sweeten a cup of coffee. Virtually no aftertaste. And stabilises blood sugar etc. 8/10
Happy eating.

As a diabetic this is a great sweetener. It tastes just like sugar but mixes better with drinks than sugar.

NuNaturals Stevia,
October 31, 2007
From Missouri
I am a diabetic with a sweet tooth. Until I found NuNaturals Stevia, I was disatisfied with all of the alternative sweeteners, and with Stevia from other manufacturers. This product is consistent, and has taken the place of sugar in all my recipes. I am very happy with the product.

I absolutely love this product. It allows me to maintain a sweet tooth and it keeps my blood pressure down. Have been using it now for 4 years. Also IHerb is the place to obtain it. Thanks for a great company and a great product.

Great product Great price,

From California
Best stevia powder ever! Husband (pre-diabetic) has now replaced all his Splenda use with this NuNaturals stevia..a major accomplishment in our house! We like it in coffee, Teeccino's herbal coffees (no caffeine!), tea, hot and cold cereals, sprinkled w/cinnamon on toast, etc. Absolutely no aftertaste. Even shipped some to our kids at college who like it as well. Cool stuff!
