My father (a diabetic) and I really love this product. When we first switched to Stevia we tried a 1 lb. container made by 'Now Foods' and it was great with not a bit of bitterness. Next we decided to try this 1 lb container of NuNaturals NuStevia. And were we surprised! Both products we tried were of the 100% pure extract form, but the NuNaturals surprised us because it was FAR more potent, meaning we had to use far less to get the same amount of 'sweetness' that the 'NOW' product had given us. At first, we found the NuNaturals would taste just a little bit bitter - until we realized it was because of the concentrated potency - and when we cut way back on amounts, then it would taste nicely sweet with no bitterness. For example, to sweeten a single glass of drink I would use a fork and use only 1 of the fork tines and get just a tiny amount onto the tip of the tine! A ridiculously small amount :-) Expect one container of this to last you over a year for single users. My biggest use of it now is to put a cup of fresh cranberries into water, boil, add stevia, and use this as concentrate to make about 2 gallons of a very healthy and sweet drink (with just a hint of sour from cranberries). I recommend this product, but do not recommend other products which are not 100% pure stevia extract as they contain a lot of fillers (such as maltodextrin or other sweetener). They add fillers to make the stevia easier to measure using a teaspoon or tablespoon. But I recommend you buy a set of minature standardized measuring spoons containing "Drop" "Smidgen" "Pinch" "Dash" and "Tad". Then you will have no trouble accurately measuring your NuStevia Pure Extract.

NuNatural apparently has made a labeling error which incorrectly states that this 1 pound of pure stevia extract contains maltodextrin. I received this product from iHerb.com and had to confirm with NuNaturals that it was indeed Pure white stevia extract and did not contain maltodextrin. iHerb.com support claims all their products are labeled this way, so you may receive a mislabeled product if you order this from iHerb.com. I have confirmed with NuNaturals that the product does not contain maltodextrin.

I used to get the other 1 lb brand,but after I got this one I noticed that it's sweeter so it takes 1/3 less the amount I used add to sweeten my tea.I can tell this because I'm using the same tiny scoop.I like it a lot.

Hello, this product is VERY sweet. Only need to add a pinch at a time. It will last you forever. I like it that is it pure, no maltodextrin or other additives. Remember, just a pinch at a time, then taste. It will ruin your meal or drink if you add too much, so be very careful.
