Is this 100% stevia?

this answer is for the 1 ounce jar. It has a tiny measuring spoon inside that is about 1/64th of a teaspoon !The label says: "contains no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, eggs, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors, artificial flavors, or artificial sweeteners". The ingredient list is: " Certified organic stevia extract powder (Stevia Rebaudiana) (leaf)." We found that since there are no additives, it does not have the aftertaste, but is pure sweet. The tiny scoop is about 2 teaspoons of sugar in sweetening power, so we use 1/2 scoop for 1 teaspoon sweetness equivalent. There are (it says on the label) 622 scoops in this 1 ounce (28gram) jar. this answer is for the 1 ounce jar.

The one-pound jar and the one- and four-ounce shakers are all 100% pure stevia with no filler.

You need to look on the ingredients list. If it has words that end in 'ose' or if it has xylitol then it has hidden sugars in it.

The powder in the jars is pure. The powder in the packets is not. The amount of pure stevia needed to sweeten one serving of a beverage is so tiny that if they put that in a packet, it would seem the packet is empty. So they cut it in with other ingredients whenever you buy stevia in packets.The exact ingredient description on the 1 lb. plastic jar I bought: "Certified Organic Stevia Extract Powder (Stevia rebaudiana) (Leaf)."Nothing else.

No. Actually I have found out that it also has maltodextrin and silica in it, too. I think I will look for another brand that is pure stevia. I'm glad you asked.

I have been using the organic better stevia powder and was very concerned at any hint that it was not pure stevia. I am not allowed to have maltodextrin as it will interfere with a medical protocol I am on. So I went to the Now website and foung really good descriptions of all their various stevia products. The organic better stevia powder in jars is pure stevia. (Whew!) The packets have rice maltodextrin if regular ( not organic) and some other additive if organic. Both also have silica.

Yes it is! As the description says, this is 100% pure stevia extract. "Now" does make other products that are a blend of stevia and maltodextrin, but this is their pure stevia extract powder. Check labels carefully when purchasing stevia. If you want the pure extract, this is Now's version.

Ingredients list: rice maltodextrin, stevia extract (Stevia rebaudiana), and silica. The precise answer would be No.

None of the packets are 100% stevia. They all have some kind of filler or anti-flaking ingredient. Pure stevia really absorbs moisture, so unless the packet is foil or moisture proof, they won't keep. I carry a small pure powdered stevia shaker in my purse and keep on in my car.

First ingredient in the packets is 'rice maltodextrin' and then stevia extract.I go for the powder in the cannister.....cheaper and pure stevia extract...organic.

Yes, it is Stevia. I have Nectar flavor and it is quite nummy. However, it is sweetened with the low calorie stevia.

ERYTHRITOL IS THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT in this sweetener, not stevia. Erythritol is listed before the other ingredient, stevia rebaudiana, which means there's more erythritol than stevia in this sweetener.MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE [cleverly written] LABEL - it says "we use only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides" - get that? That means that the stevia extract - the SECONDARY ingredient in this product - contains at least 95% steviol glycoside. IT DOES NOT MEAN that 95% is stevia and the rest is erythritol ... far from it. If the actual amounts of erythritol and stevia were openly disclosed on the label, they'd never sell much of it.

No, it is 100% pure concentrate, but it is very sweet naturally. Thank you.

I don't think it does. I drink this every morning in my coffee. However some people's pallets may be more sensitive. It is one of my favorite brands of stevia, very high quality!

the real thing, Melinda-- "sustainably grown and harvested, Demeter biodynamic certified" and the only ingredients are "Certified Organic Stevia Powder". I hope this is helpful to you. ~Cynthia

This product contains only Stevia. It is one of the things I really like about it. Also, it is very strong so you don't need much and a container will last a long time. I have faith in Sweetleaf. I am amazed how many other products contain other sweeteners and ingredients.

We are proud to say that ALL of the Stevia used in our stevia extract, stevia liquid, and stevia flavors is grown in Paraguay, South Amercia. Not many (if any at all) stevia companies can say that since "most" stevia is grown in China and shipped worldwide then manufactured in the states. We guarantee our stevia extract is 100% pure-no fillers or additives. Thanks for your great question! If you need any further assistance, we can be reached at info@steviaselect.com. Thank you, Diana

According to the label, no. It lists purified water, organic stevia leaf extracts and natural flavors. Hope this helps.

It says 100% pure but not organic on the package. I am very pleased with the product which comes from Paraguay, not China. I would suggest you contact the company directly--they are very responsive. steviaselect@outlook.com

No, it says Purified Water, Organic Stevia Leaf Extract, Natural Flavors. (The flavored ones list the flavors, such as berry and strawberry concentrate.)

Stevia 90% Steviocides white extract powder. NO ADDITIVES OR FILLERS! This is pure, white, standardized Stevia extract. Serving Size: 1/32 teaspoon (10088 servings per pound). Our Stevia extract is standardized to 90% steviasides so that it is extremely potent. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a natural herb that is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and grows in Asia and South America. South American natives have used Stevia for centuries; though it has just recently become popular in the United States. I found this on their website. It does not say organic, but some of the reviews say it is. Maybe they called? I would assume it is as close as possible without the "certification" being derived from South America. You see they list a serving size as 1/32 of a teaspoon. It is really to taste. I tend to use different amounts for different items. Drinks vs. baked goods. I find it dissolves best in hot water and love it in my tea and coffee.

No. The only ingredients on the label are Stevia extract, kosher vegetable glycerine and water. This is my favorite Stevia product as it taste more natural and without that "chemical" taste. As long as it has no others ingredients, I will continue to purchase it.

100% yes. I've found most plant based supplements are gritty and have that stevia "fake" feel to them. I honestly can't stand stevia. As far as being chalky, absolutely not. This stuff mixes very well. Vega's products are awesome and I stand by them completely.

Not at all. Stevia, unlike Aspartame and other sugar substitutes, does not have an after taste.

Pure stevia is not yet FDA approved. Every stevia product sold in the U.S. is mixed with something. This is the purest form available that my husband and I have been able to find. As another stated, most are combined with other sugars, whereas this one is combined with fiber.
