Hi Brenda,
I found your book “Sugar-free Mom” and am excited to try the recipes. I purchased Sweetleaf Stevia Clear and the Sweetleaf Vanilla Creme. In looking at this conversion chart, I’m guessing that what I have is the liquid, not the extract. Is that correct? Several of your recipes use stevia extract, but I haven’t seen that. Does Sweetleaf make a pure extract?
Thank you,
Ellen

In reply to Jimm. I'm sorry I have not tested it out to be certain on quantity with packets compared with the dried leaves ground.

How much Stevia that has been home-grown, dried and ground will equal one of the packets of Stevia? I have just dreid and ground my own Stevia for the first time, and am also going to try making my own liquid.

I’m wondering what you use for “bulk” when replacing sugar or sugar substitutes with powdered stevia?

Hello Brenda! Thank’s for your post it is very useful, but I have a doubt about some stevia products like this https://eu.goodgood.net/products/sweet-like-sugar-450-gr?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&pr_rec_pid=3619453831&pr_ref_pid=4346533904457&pr_seq=uniform wich have calories?
Do you know why some granulated stevia have carbs and others not?
It’s very confusing for me what to choose, because in my country we have a few brands selling granulated stevia.
I know that brand have erithritol, but you also can find that product with 0 calories, so it’s no clear why some stevia have and others not.
Thank’s

One more thing for baking with Stevia as to whether powdered or liquid is preferable, I wanted to add that I do not use gluten (no oats including organic) nor dairy save butter and occasionally eggs (lactose issues), instead almond, coconut or brown rice flour and coconut milk or almond milk. (all organic). If you have experimented with any of these substitutes using Stevia, what have you found? Again, thank you so much. I am very appreciative

Thanks so much for posting the chart– I appreciate your sharing it.
One thing though which would help me immeasurably regarding the use of Stevia: For baking, what have you found works better, liquid or powdered? I have searched and searched and have not found a straightforward response.

Gratefully, Deb

Wondering which size dropper you are using in your chart…. The bottles come in a couple of sizes. Thank you.

In reply to Dave M.. I've never tried making beer so not quite sure if it would work for you as regular sugar does.

Can you use stevia instead of sugar for beer making?

Brenda,
I was thinking about purchasing some of the powdered stevia extract. From what I understand from your article, I would only use it when the recipe calls for at least a cup of sugar. My question is, how much would I use in a recipe for a baked item like cookies or brownies that calls for 1 cup of sugar? Obviously not a whole cup of it, but how do I account for the extra “bulk” a cup of sugar would provide?
