Pure Stevia Powder Q & A's

Yes, we certify our stevia to be organic and of the higest quality.Absolutely no pesticides, chemicals, or foreign substance is used on these plants. In addition, we certify our stevia powder is non-gmo.

We gently soak the leaves in water and alcohol to extract the best flavors of the sweet leaf. Tests have been done to prove that adding alcohol to the water (during the soaking process) extracts the best flavor without adding the bitterness. This is why we do not use water only. Furthermore, after many rinses, there is no alcohol residual left on the powder. You are left with only the cleanest tasting, non-bitter stevia available!

Yes. Every powder comes with a very small smidgen scoop (1/32 teaspoon). This scoop is equal to the sweetness of 1 ts of white sugar.

This is a great question and one I used to ask myself since stevia is made from the green leaves. 

There are green stevia powders out there. These consist of dried stevia leaves that are pulverized, require about 200 times more to sweeten than pure concentrated stevia. Green stevia leaves will impart a fresh cut grass flavor. Not what most people want....ha ha.
Our pure stevia powder is naturally extracted with 37 step alcohol & water soaking process. This formula (as opposed to water alone) extracts the sweetest part of the sweet leaf. During this soaking process the green chlorophyll in the leaves will be lost. Thus you are left with a white powder.

On a side note, after all the rinsing is complete, there is no alcohol left in the stevia. This is the most natural way of extracting the best tasting stevia from the leaf.
If you are looking for a delicious tasting stevia powder, with absolutely no bad effects or harmful ingredients, then we suggest Stevia Select. 

A 1 oz. bottle of pure stevia has 700+ servings. A serving is a smidgen scoop of 1/32 teaspoon which equals sweetness of 1 ts. of white sugar.

With lots of media hype about Reb-A 98% or higher being the best, Stevia Select offers a different perspective. New research has shown that any stevia Reb-A over 70% is highly processed and can be unhealthy. Stevia Select premium powder has a minimum of 60% Reb-A. However, we have a truly unique formula that includes Reb-C. There are 4 glycosides in a stevia leaf and Reb-C is the most sought after and rarest element. Its taste is so pure and sweet, with absolutely no-bitterness. Our stevia formula is a rare combination of Reb-A and Reb-C.

Our stevia is 100% pure guaranteed. We have nothing added. No fillers or additives!

No. This is only pure stevia extracts with no other ingredients.

A Smidgen scoop is included with every stevia purchase. This tiny spoon is exactly 1/32 of a teaspoon. 1 Smidgen equals the sweetness of 1 teaspoon sugar.

For larger measurement equivalencies, use the following:

1/4 ts stevia = 1/4 C sugar

1/2 ts stevia = 1/2  C sugar

*See images for measurement equivalent chart. You will also receive an email, after purchase, with this information.

Like 99% of stevia available, our stevia is grown in China. We have many trusted agencies, from different countries, that make sure quality standards are being met to uphold our certifications that enable us to boldly state: USDA Organic & Non-GMO. Stevia Select is known for it's high standards.

Stevia Select powder dissolves faster/easier in hot or warm water. If you have an iced drink, stir in the stevia before adding ice. If this is not possible, you can still mix it in icy drinks by crushing the powder against the glass with back of spoon. This helps dissolve the stevia that tends to clump together in cold.

*Note: stevia powder will dissolve best when sprinkled lightly over the surface versus dumping a smidgen scoop in one area.

You can - just remember it’s very concentrated. It comes with a smidgeon measure spoon which 1 smidgeon is 1/32 of a teaspoon but that amount of the powder is equal to 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Yes, you can definitely bake cakes, cookies, or anything else you desire! Stevia is heat stable up to 400 degrees. Find our conversion chart here. With that said, the lack of "bulk" does affect the texture/integrity of many baked desserts. For this reason, we strongly recommend Stevia Select Baking Blend that measures cup-for-cup like sugar.

Some desserts that don't need "bulk" are :no-bake cookies, pancakes or waffles, cheesecakes, and pie filling or crusts. See our for more baking ideas.

A fine, white powder.

Taste is dependent on preference but most customers tell us this is a great tasting natural sugar substitute. With that said,

it is not as "lusciously" sugary-sweet as sugar

Stevia Select pure stevia is a proprietary blend of Reb-A & Reb-C. Reb-A is the most talked about and publicized but Reb-C is actually the best tasting, rarest to come by, and most expensive part of the stevia leaf. Our research has shown that Reb-A extracted at higher than 70% is so refined and processed it is possibly unhealthy. This is why we choose a Reb-A content with a minimum of 60%. Keep in mind that the Reb-C is very concentrated and makes our stevia unique with exceptional taste. You may need to use a tiny bit more, but its worth it for the quality of taste you'll get.

Stevia Flavor Q & A's

We never add color, artificial or natural, to any of our stevia flavors. Any color seen is naturally occurring from the real extracts used. For instance, raspberry has a slightly pinkish hue and vanilla is tan from the vanilla bean extracts.
