Is this stevioside or Stevia rebaudiana (which causes infertility)?

It is stevia rebaudiana (leaf) which I believe is the only form of stevia approved by the FDA as a sweetener. I am; however, not too happy with this sweetener right now. Nunaturals changed their supplier and the product is not as thick as before. It easily drips from the stopper and is not as sweet as it used to be.

It says pure stevia on the description and picture, but what I received is actually 90% stevia, with no accounting for what the other 10% is. It says there are no other ingredients. Either I or they are not very good at math.

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

If you get "Stevia" 12 months out is the normal. Beware you don't get "Yes" as a substitute. The packets come undone and open. Won't buy again.

My old container says it is 100% stevia, other ingredients none. There is also another statement on the label that says "KAL Guarantees that NO other ingredients other than those listed on this label have been added to this product". Unfortunately, new packaging does not say that and instead lists Maltodextrin as another ingredient. Unfortunately I am now looking for pure, organic stevia that doesn't contain maltodextrin, GMO or otherwise.

You're welcome! Let me know if there's a different kind of stevia you are looking for. I have access to a lot more stevias than what I currently have in my store.

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 Stevia plant is grown in China but the products are manufactured mostly in California. I have been using this for years and found it to be the only stevia that is not bitter and does not give me stomach aches. The company does a lot of lab testing and does their due diligence.

They will never answer the question. In all likelihood, Stevita is the same as Truvia sweetener that is 99.5% erythritol, and 0.5% ribiana, an extract from the stevia plant. That's right, only TRACE amounts of stevia. The majority of the contents is the GMO-based substance, erythritol, that researchers have recently learned is an effective BUG KILLER - you know, as in INSECTICIDE. Imagine, erythritol can kill your cravings for sugar, and kill bugs too ... how convenient is that? This sweetener is falsely being promoted as "natural" because it contains erythritol - but not NOT in its natural form - in the chemically-produced form, and also by the inclusion of a trace amount of stevia extractives. How trace? ... you can only guess, because clearly Stevita Inc. is not going to tell you. A class-action lawsuit against Truvia, for the very same reason - consumer fraud - cost them $60m in settlement fees for consumers to obtain refunds for being deceived. One can only hope that Stevita starts telling folks the truth about their product lest they suffer the same fate as Truvia.

It is distributed by NuNaturals in Eugene Oregon. However, that does not mean that it is from there. Usually, stevia comes from South America. The bottle has a phone number 800-753-4372 and a web site: www.nunaturals.com info@nunaturals.com. Perhaps they could tell you.

I don't think so. I know it grows in South America. The container says it's distributed by Stevita Co. Inc. of Arlington, Texas. There is another blurb on it which says "Stevita Stevia brand... In the Brazilian market since 1988.

The label says Stevita stevia uses only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides from stevia herb leaves.

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, this did not have stevia... I checked the ingredients statement for it and the box says it's all natural ingredients... crystalized lemon juice.
