any one had stevia

has a strange taste to me

stevia is amazing

You may be using too much.

 

I remember thinking the same exact thing.  One day I realized that two drops of liquid stevia is all i need for a bowl of oatmeal.  It won't make your food as sweet as sugar, or in the same way.  But if you want a hint of sweetness, I think its perfect!

I have some and I think it has an odd taste too =\

I've used the right amount and tried adjusting it to my taste, going from adding a whole packet to hardly a sprinkle, and it still just tastes weird!

What a waste of money...bought 2 boxes at once =P

This is very true: you don't need much at all. That being said, I mostly use the flavored Stevia in bottles. A few drops in milk gives you instant chocolate/hazelnut/etc. milk or flavored coffee, etc. I find I don't like the plain Stevia packets much.

Tried it once didn't like it at all....but to each there own....before I buy it I would see if you have someplace you can try it. We have an organic resturaunt around here and that's what they had instead of sugar.....

I use it every day, I buy it from trader joes. It takes some time to get used to, like anything else, and it is VERY. VERY sweet.
Dont' breathe the powder in either lol! I love it though. I use it in my green tea.

I put a small amount in my coffee, it helped me kick my sugar habit!

I love Stevia! There are lots of different brands with different concentrations of stevia in it. I've tried some that have an weird after taste to it. I Love Kals brand pure stevia, I put like a 10th of a tsp in my coffee and its SWEET.

Don't give up of Stevia, you just have to find a kind you like and learn always put less that you think you need.

I really like it. I bought the 'powder' packets and if you don't mix it up properly,it will clump.  Then you'll get a big chunk of it (like I did when I put it in my oatmeal) and it will taste gross.  But I use one packet of it in my green tea daily. And I mix some with a little milk before I put it in oatmeal.  

Stevia is suppose to be a 'natural' sweetner, so it's the only one I use.  I buy it at Walmart in a box of packets.  Considering it's a 'sweetner' I like it as well as any.
