Buying stevia - what you should look out for if you want to buy stevia.

Stevia is very popular as a natural sweetener and many people have already tried it. Perhaps you are one of those who have tried stevia and didn't like it? This is quite common, as many stevia products have a liquorice-like aftertaste. Nevertheless, it should be said that the quality varies greatly and is particularly noticeable in the flavour and sweetening power. But what is the reason for this and what is important when choosing stevia products?

Find out here which quality is decisive,

when you buy stevia.

When buying stevia, there are differences in flavour, sweetening power and yield. High-quality stevia impresses with its strong sweetening power, high yield and almost no aftertaste. If you have tried stevia and did not like the taste, this could be due to the low quality of the product you bought.

Stevia products in supermarkets or drugstores are sold with other types of sugar such as dextrose, lactose, maltodextrin, surcalose or even cyclamate. Why is this done?

The main reason is the use of low stevia raw material (steviol glycosides) qualities. In contrast to high-quality stevia raw materials, these are significantly cheaper. The disadvantage is the flavour, which is well masked or covered with added sugars.

You should therefore compare the products before buying!

You can recognise a high-quality stevia sweetener by these properties

Degree of purity:

A first-class product consists of 100% pure stevia (steviol glycosides) without additional fillers or additives.

Rebaudioside-A content:

The content of Reb-A should be at least 60 to 98%. Rebaudioside-A is one of the sweetest and non-bitter components of the stevia plant.

If a product fulfils these criteria, the taste of stevia comes very close to that of sugar. However, it should be noted that Stevia sweetener tablets, Stevia liquid sweetener and Stevia sweetener sprinkles always require a carrier for dosing and manufacturing reasons. However, these should not consist of added sugars.
