Stevia
Note: This chart compares 4 types
of packaged stevia (stevia blends in packets and in some other form such
as a jar or shaker) with artificial sweeteners that have been bulked up
to equal sugar volume for volume.
Note 2: To avoid a bitter taste:
Although stevia sweetening strengths vary from one brand to another, when
you use a brand high in steviosides, you can achieve a sweeter taste without
bitterness. This chart is based on using an extract with over 90% steviosides
and a minimum of 30% rebaudiosde A. Consequently, when using a pure stevioside
with less then the stated requirements, reduce the amount of stevia listed
on the chart above by about 30% - the final product will not be as sweet,
but you'll avoid the bitter taste.
