Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi, I am interested in getting Stevia but can only find it on line. I'd like to find out if anyone has tried it and can recommend one brand or type over another. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I like the stevia sold by Wisdom Herb (www.wisdomherb.com) and they sell it in a variety of forms. I would recommend that you contact them and ask for samples and where you can purchase their product locally. I used to carry their products in my practice and my clients loved their information packets and recipes. When I dealt with Wisdom Herb they were always very accomodating and extremely knowlegable about their product and loved to share what they knew and would even refer my clients to resources outside of their company for help and information. I was one of their smallest clients but never felt like it, they always treated me and my staff with the greatest courtesy and respect. As you may know stevia is a different kind of sweet, and unlike sugar or honey it does not fill your mouth with that slick texture that many find comforting. If that texture of sweet slickness is important to you, I would recommend the stevia with fiber combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 It is a no calorie sweetener made from an herb. Sweetleaf is a major brand of it. It is used as a supplement for FDA reasons from what I have read it is very very sweet. Comes powdered and in liquid form. You can grow it also and get it at your local garden center. I am not sure how you use it as the plant other than to put a leaf in your tea or something. I am new to learning about it also. Same for Swerve that is also a sugar substitute but natural.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Stevia is not a " no calorie sweetener made from an herb " . Stevia IS an herb. Its natural properties are so much sweeter than sugar and you need so little to impart the sweet taste, it does not add calories. You may use the leaves. You may pour boiling water over the leaves and use the liquid as a sweetener. Or, you may buy stevia in either powder or liquid form in the supplement section of your local store. Swerve is not a natural sweetener. It is a highly processed chemical like Splenda. It is not in a natural form. I hope this information is helpful.
