When using Regain Stevia, it is important to note that its sweetness intensity can be significantly higher than that of granulated sugar. This means that only a small amount is typically needed to achieve the desired level of sweetness. It dissolves easily in liquids, making it convenient for beverages. For baking, it can be incorporated directly into dry ingredients or dissolved in a small amount of liquid before adding to the batter. Experimentation may be needed to find the perfect balance for your recipes, as it can behave differently than sugar in terms of texture and browning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike granulated sugar, Regain Stevia does not contribute to the bulk or texture of baked goods in the same way. It also does not caramelize or brown like sugar does. Its sweetness is derived from compounds called steviol glycosides, which are naturally present in the stevia plant.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store Regain Stevia in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent clumping and preserve its sweetness. Proper storage will help ensure it remains effective for its intended purpose over time.
