Which stevia sweetener is best?

[maryannie]

I am overwhelmed by all the stevia sweeteners out there now. I have no idea which one tastes best. I've heard that the liquid stevia tastes better and less carbs but there are also a lot of liquid stevia products out there. Anyone know which one tastes the best? I also see that there's green powder stevia and white powder stevia, what's the difference?

Frankly, I can detect a nasty, bitter aftertaste with most stevia products. The only time I cannot detect that aftertaste is when I use fresh stevia leaves or the dried leaves. 1 stevia leaf is enough to sweeten 1 pint of liquid for my tastebuds.

Green stevia powder, technically, should be the dried stevia leaves that are ground to a fine powder. White powder stevia is the same thing, but the leaves hve been treated with a bleaching agent. My definitions are based upon the definitions used in organic foods booklets and catalogs----I don't know how the "industry" defines green stevia and white stevia powder.

Today my dh saw Stevia in the store in packets and bought a box but didn't like the taste in his tea. I didn't try it however because although it has no calories, it has 3 carbs! I'll stick to my SweetnLow!
