Sweetness of the crude leaves from the stevia plant and leaf powder (green) varies from 10 - 15 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia concentrates (white powders or liquids) can be 100 to over 300 times sweeter than sugar. Not all concentrates are created
equal so read the product label and literature to ensure what you are buying is 100% pure stevia and determine its sweetness level.
Q.How can Pure-Li Natural's Stevia's have no aftertaste unlike other brands?
A.Quality and purity.
Our concentrated Stevia powder is the highest grade available. It is 100% pure stevia with no added fillers. Lower grade stevia concentrates add fillers to reduce their costs. It is these fillers which have the unpleasant aftertaste.
Our concentrated liquid contains no alcohol or glycerine (fillers commonly used in Stevia liquids). These additives are responsible for the distinctive aftertaste in some brands.
Pure-Li Natural pure Concentrated Stevia is amazingly sweet and free of any aftertaste.
