NunaturalsWhite Stevia Powder Packets, Single-Serve, Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute, 100 count

This is all stevia not watered down with other stuff. So it is strong and you'll get used to the bitter flavor of stevia in no time. Love stevia!

This was the stevia I used when it was called "Nustevia." When it disappeared from store shelves, I thought it had been discontinued. Then I learned it had simply been renamed, but this reincarnation never appeared on store shelves. Amazon to the rescue, as usual! And it's the same, quality stevia I remember.This has no additives such as sugar alcohols, which I don't want and which are ending up in some brands. This stevia has a very subtle "licorice-y" flavor, which I like. And I never need to use the entire packet at once, which makes it very cost effective.Just FYI, because pure cane sugar has *no* taste, people talk about the "aftertaste" of alternative sweeteners, but that's simply their unique taste. Just as molasses and honey, for example, have their own detectable taste, so does stevia, though it is subtle.Anyone looking for an alternative sweetener should like this. And those who, like me, enjoyed the original Nustevia will be happy to know that the only change was to their name.

Great taste

I have always hated the bitter "stevia aftertaste," but my research led me to conclude that stevia is the safest sweetener available. I wanted to make the switch, but I just didn't know whether I would be able to live with that awful aftertaste. I bought a large variety of stevia packets (not liquid - those are totally different) and tried them in hot tea in a side-by-side taste test to see which was "least awful." A couple of friends and I rated each one. I realize that aftertaste in sweeteners is a pretty individual thing, but I'm sharing our results in case they're useful to anyone. From best to worst:NuNaturals NuStevia - virtually no aftertaste - amazingBetter Stevia - slight aftertaste - drinkableSweetleaf - noticable aftertaste - drinkable, but not enjoyableTruvia - moderate aftertaste - barely drinkableStevita - significant aftertaste - almost drinkableStevia in the Raw - strong aftertaste - not worth drinkingSpenda Naturals - powerful aftertaste - poured it out after a sipPure Via - a previously unimagined level of aftertaste - spit it out and washed our mouths outTo be fair, it's important to know that if you mix different kinds of sweeteners, aftertastes tend to mellow out. So if you use some monk fruit or erythritol along with a stevia brand that has an aftertaste, the aftertaste becomes barely noticeable. That's how everything except the NuStevia ended up getting used (and the PureVia, which I "donated" to the break room at work).Now I buy NuStevia in bulk and in 1000 packet sizes. I've found that if there's any aftertaste, it's because I've used too much, so I'm careful about how much I use. If I need more sweetness, I'll blend in a second type of sweetener to get the taste just right.Bottom line: I would strongly recommend giving NuStevia a try if you can't handle the "stevia aftertaste."

I usually use Splenda in my coffee (2-4 packets a day) but as I get older, I'm worried about my health. I did a search for best tasting stevia based sweeteners and this came up. Compared to Splenda, the sweetness in NuNaturals seemed less rich. Compared to Truvia, another stevia-based sweetener, NuNatural is WAY better...there is less of a bitter aftertaste. You can definitely tell it's stevia but it's less obvious. The World Health Organization released a guideline in 2023 that non-sugar sweeteners (including Splenda (sucralose) and stevia) does not help with weight control in the long term. Bummer. If that is the case, and if there aren't any conclusive evidence that stevia-based sweeteners are "healthier" than sucralose then I might go back to Splenda.
