Stevia

No flavors, blends or bulking agents (ok, perhaps just a little water!). Comes in powder and liquid form, use sparingly. The liquid form also comes as a syrup (dark/black in color) which is super-concentrated and should be diluted before use.

• Just a small amount is all you'll need
• Zero calories zero carbohydrates
• Mix powder with water (1:3) and store in refrigerator

• Use pure stevia in liquid form
• 1 teaspoon of liquid stevia typically replaces 1 cup of sugar

Additives typically change the flavor, bulk or form of the stevia extract. Comes in liquid, powder and granulated forms, in both natural and flavored versions. Zero carbohydrate and zero calorie forms available.
