Pyure Organic Stevia Blend | Granulated All-Purpose - White Sugar Substitute | Zero Carb, Zero Sugar, Zero Calorie | Plant-Based Stevia and Erythritol Sweetener for Keto Friendly Food | 1 lb (16 oz)

I am amazed at how good this tastes, really! I have tried so many sugar substitutes over the years and I have not liked or just tolerated most of them. This one is really tasty. So far I have used it to sweeten iced coffee, hot herbal tea, iced tea and oatmeal. Those are the things I bought it with the intention of using it for; I probably will find other things I will use it for. I don't have plans to use it for baking. I rarely bake, and I would just continue to use sugar for the little bit of baking I do. I like that this is a granulated product, that is what I wanted to try this time, rather than those little packets. I don't find an aftertaste at all. Be sure to read the label. This is not an equal measure to sugar, so if you do not adjust your usage, you will probably not like it. I add, taste, and add more if needed. It didn't take long to figure out how much to use to get the sweetness I like. I really like my iced coffee, tea and oatmeal quite sweet, so I use too much sugar. The calories really add up to a ridiculous amount. This will really help, especially since the taste is so good I won't mind using it. I'm so glad I tried this brand. I don't really mind the price, since you use less than regular sugar, so the bag will last longer than it looks.

I have tried several forms of natural sweeteners over the years in order to limit my sugar intake. Some of those formulas have been found to be less than beneficial, some of them might be dangerous, and several provide an unacceptable taste and/or texture. While Stevia products are the best so far, I have come across both good and bad mixtures. Some are powdered and hard to work with, some become bitter if you use too much at one time, and some of them lose their potency (sugary taste) the longer you store them.This Pyure Organic All-Purpose Stevia Sweetener has a taste and texture that closely mimics natural sugar. You can prove it to yourself by setting up a simple test. Put two small plates on your counter with a small amount of sugar on one and an equal amount of Pyure Stevia on the other. Have a family member close their eyes, lick their left pointer finger, and place it on one of the samples. Then have them do the same using their right pointer finger on the other sample. Have them taste both and ask them which is the Pyure Stevia. I would be very surprised if they can tell a difference.This Pyure formula is gluten free, has zero calories, has only 2 grams of carbs per serving, and is certified ORGANIC. You don't need to use much as 1 tsp of Pyure is equivalent to 2 tsp of sugar. It is also one of the more reasonable costing formulas of Stevia. If you are diabetic (or pre-diabetic) you will find this a great substitute for sugar.

When I opened the bag, I caught the most lovely, wonderful fragrance, like cotton candy perhaps. I think I call it a "fragrance" rather than a "smell" is because I have a bottle of a fragrance oil called Dreams (do you remember when the biggest thing was to go to these small gift/specialty stores where they had a small rack with about 30 different scented oils and they would mix it with different unscented mediums such as lotion or conditioner, or you could simply buy it by the bottle?). Anyway, Dreams smelled like sweet, like... okay, you get my point! PYURE not only smells Dreamy, but it tastes SO Wonderful! I think it tastes better than sugar, and way better than any other Stevia Blend I've had... Truvia and Sweetleaf are the two that I've had, so granted I've not had tons, but Now I Don't Need To! I was reluctant to try a straight Stevia because of the aftertaste, which I have experienced from time to time, especially because I like my coffee Really strong so there's that bit of bitterness I may get. But With Pyure, There is No aftertaste at all! I buy plain yogurt and do the flavoring myself with, of course, Pyure, and maybe some Wild Foods Organic Vanilla Bean Powder and some Frontier Vietnamese Organic Cinnamon, Viva Labs Organic Cacao Powder & Island Fresh Organic Coconut Oil... OMG, IT IS SO DELICTABLELY DELICIOUS & SOOO LOW IN CALORIES!! I will be using Pyure in my Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Coconut Cookies made with Almond Flour... I'd send you some, but most likely I will eat them all before you even have a chance to ask! One comparison I would like to make, also, is Monk Fruit Sweetener: Pyure is supposed to be double the sweetness of sugar, while Monk Fruit says it's 1 to 1. MY palette says the opposite. Hm. Well, I have always been somewhat... unique? Luckily I bought 1 bag of each (& Pyure was about $5 less), and when it really comes right down to it (at this point), it Only Matters What I Like! However, I will taste as I make & bake, and for a truer reference I will have a few friends taste them for their opinion. So, until Then... Sweeten Away And The Same You Will Weigh!
