Truvia

Anyone try the new, zero-calorie natural sweetener yet? I'm intrigued with this new product.

Stevia's been around for a long time (mostly in health food stores, I think I bought some at Trader Joe's). I always thought it had a bit of a strange taste. I'll stick with Splenda.

I use stevia all the time. I think it's a bit sweeter than sugar. My local chain store carries it now in the natural foods (alternative/organic) area. It's great for diabetics.

Agave nectar is good, too. It's becoming easier to find, but it's a liquid and is more expensive.

If you just want to try the stevia, I recommend buying a small box of packets (cup of coffee sized portions). It's cheap, so if you don't like it there's not too much loss. I use Stevia In The Raw. steviaextractintheraw.com

I tried Stevia a few years ago and did not like the taste at all. It had an aftertaste like Sweet 'n Low. Not having tried Truvia, I can't offer an opinion - maybe they did something to improve the flavor over straight old stevia.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.

What is in my beer today....i thought this was going to be some kind of a trivia thread.
