Stevia Select Organic Stevia Powder - Sugar Free Plant Based Pure Stevia Sweetener Stevia Extract Keto Sugar Substitute No Fillers Zero Calorie 1 Oz

Let me preface this review by saying that I only use Stevia in coffee and tea. Therefore, I have no idea how well this product works for baking and cooking. Having used this product for several months, I think it is great overall. Of course, the Stevia products that have fillers taste better and are supposedly less bitter. However, they are simply not good for you. I actually think this Stevia Select tastes better than Truvia.For me, locating and purchasing Stevia has been a process. After being told by my nutritionist that Splenda and all artificial sweetners were not good for my health, I started using Truvia and Stevia in the Raw. After reading the ingredients, I realized that Truvia, Stevia in the Raw, and products like it were. not only processed, but full of fillers.. So I began searching for the "purest perfect" Stevia sweetner. In my opinion, the taste and sweetness of this Stevia Select product is great----certainly better than damaging your health with a lot of fillers, many of which are just another form of sugar.This product is also Organic ---Non GMO. Since it is a white powder, it IS processed. However, according to the seller, they do not use chemicals. The seller previously stated that Stevia Select was grown in Paraguay. However, unfortunately, now they indicate that it is also grown in China. After doing considerable research, the only Organic Stevia that is totally "PURE" and unprocessed is a GREEN powder (basically the actual Stevia leaf ground up into a powder). Reviewers have said that it colors coffee and tea green, is less sweet, and has a different less pleasant taste. However, this green unprocessed power is the ONLY pure Stevia. So like me, consumers must decide if they are more concerned about health or the best tasting product. I gave this 5 stars since I believe it is the best tasting white powder Stevia and I have tried many. It is also probably healthier than most white powders, since it is Organically grown, no fillers, and although processed, not chemically processed. Since I try to put health benefits FIRST and taste second, I am currently looking into the best Organically grown Raw, unprocessed Green powder (ground Stevia) from the plant. I realize I will have to sacrifice sweetness and taste.So, bottom line, if you are looking for a good tasting and pretty healthy "white" powder Stevia, I think overall this is a good product. If anyone out there has tried the Raw Organic Green Stevias and have found a favorite, let me know. Hope this review is helpful.UPDATE---Since, this review, I tried the Organic GREEN RAW STEVIA powder---used it twice and tossed it. Although healthy, it has a weed-like taste that totally ruined the taste of my coffee and tea.

This is my second bottle. I really love this stuff. SUPER SWEET. You only need a little.It comes with a spoon that is very small (1/32 of a tsp I think) and I use that little tiny spoon full in each cup of coffee. Works well in hot cereal too. I'm sure you can use it pretty much wherever you use sugar.This time I cut open the left side and will use the little flip lid for the spoon (I just took off the whole lid on my first bottle each time) so that I can try poking a small hole in the shaker side. Might be nice to be able to just shake a small amount out.Here is what I was looking for in a Stevia product, and what I found in this extract.1) No Bitter After Taste.I've tried other Stevia in the past, and they almost always had a bitter after taste. There is no bitter after taste on this product.2) No fillers!I don't want fillers or maltodextrin (created from starch). Just pure Stevia. It's harder to find than I thought. Even Stevia in the raw is not pure.3) Zero carbs, Zero CaloriesIf it is pure, it should have no carbs or calories in it.4) Not From ChinaI'd prefer it to be grown in the USA, but I'll settle for Paraguay.5) Great tasteI'd settle for less than great taste if I had to, but luckily I didn't have to. I love the taste of this Stevia extract.I can't believe people would think this to be expensive. My first bottle lasted our family 11 months. (I love that Amazon tells you when you ordered a product). So yeah, fourteen dollars (or whatever it is going for today) may seem a little high, but if it lasts you nearly a year like it did me, then it's only a little over a buck for a whole month.I don't have any problems with my blood sugar, but I've been told that Stevia (if it is pure and free from fillers) should not make your blood sugar go up at all. So that's always a plus.

Just ordered again!!!Best Pure Stevia. we have been looking for alternatives to splenda and after trying Truvia and PureVia my wife and I were looking for pure stevia to eliminate the fillers. After quite a bit of research we wanted a product that was not from China (no quality control and no confidence you'll get what's advertised without an unwanted extra - like lead in milk...) and one that was processed in the most healthiest way. Many products don't list where they are from but with some digging they were all from China! These are the ONLY Stevia products that are from South America that we could find (there may be more but every other brand is from China and I looked thoroughly at over 20 other "pure stevia" products - many of which still had fillers). So we tried this one. Glad we did!We've been using this Pure Stevia for about 2 weeks and are very pleased. It tastes much better than PurVia's Stevia which has a significant aftertaste. It's better than Truvia also and after seeing how little Pure Stevia is needed it;s obvious that Truvia is mostly fillers - which really defeats the purpose of trying to eliminate the fillers, additives... If you're used to the extreme sweetness of splenda, which I was, it may take a little to get used to the change (but even real sugar seems not sweet compared to splenda) but I found within a couple days I was using this stevia exclusively. I sometimes notice a very mild aftertaste and as I figure out exactly how much to use this is becoming even less noticeable.The tip to just poke a small hole through the safety seal is the way to go! It's not messy and easy to use. It just takes a little getting used to to get the amount right. This is extremely concentrated so a little goes a long way! Glad I tried the dual pack because I took the 2nd one to work. I'm looking to trying it in cooking.Bottom line - this is the best, purest, safest Pure Stevia product!Enjoy!
