Thread: Stevia Question

Does the Stevia Powder in packets have carbs?

Check the labels. There are different brands of Stevia, in powder and liquid form. The powders may have bulking agents that can add .5 - 1 g. carb per packet.

I haven't looked at the newer brands. Years ago, I tried several different stevia products; but, as it turns out, any form of stevia, even a fresh leaf, gives me a bitter aftertaste.

If you are talking about the green SteviaPlus packets, according to my box there is less than 1 gram carb per 1/2 packet and says it does not contain any bulking agents.

I find that there's fine line with stevia. If I get the amount just right, it's not bad at all. Too much and the aftertaste is horrible. I prefer the Sweetleaf liquid stevia (from the same folks that make SteviaPlus) that comes in a bottle with an eyedropper as it's much easier to control that way.

Thank you! I think I'll stick with the liquid for now!!
