What's the difference between your Organic Stevia 100% Natural Sweetener and your Stevia Extract Reb-A 99.8%?

The Organic Stevia 100% Natural Sweetener is a blend of stevia leaf extract Reb-A 99.8% and erythritol. Blending both evenly disperses the intense sweetness of the stevia extract and helps remove the aftertaste it can have. The Stevia Extract Reb-A 99.8% is the pure extract on its own.

Is Stevia Extract Reb-A 99.8% suitable for cooking/baking?

Absolutely. It is good for treats including pastries, cakes, biscuits, muffins and pancakes, or for flavouring desserts like ice-cream and custard. Note that it does not caramelise as sugar does. 

Can Stevia Extract Reb-A 99.8% replace sugar?

Absolutely. Note that it is 250-300 times sweeter than regular sugar, so the quantity will need to be adjusted to get the desired sweetness. It suits those looking to reduce their sugar intake as part of a balanced diet.

What is Reb-A stevia?

Reb-A (Rebaudioside A) is a highly purified form of stevia extract. It is considered the best-tasting form, with a sweetness comparable to sugar and no liquorice aftertaste.

How is it different from Stevioside?

Stevioside has a liquorice aftertaste even when highly purified, while Rebaudioside A does not, which is why Reb-A is more refined and popular.

Can it be returned?

No - this is pure stevia and cannot be returned if opened or used.
