How people cook with it

To use this organic stevia, measure it carefully as it is significantly sweeter than sugar. A very small amount can provide the desired sweetness. It can be stirred directly into beverages like coffee or tea, or incorporated into batters and doughs for baked goods. When baking, it is important to note that stevia does not provide the bulk or browning properties of sugar, so recipes may need adjustments for texture and appearance. It is best to start with a small quantity and add more to taste.
