Anybody not hate stevia?

Stevia is a member of the ragweed family causing approximately 5% of people to have an allergic reaction to it. Me, I stop breathing... I have a severe allergy to Stevia in any form.

I like breathing. Breathing tastes better than pretty much anything

I like it. I just use it in small doses only. Truvia is pretty good. But a lot of people say it tastes soapy to them. I don't taste it. Apparently my palate isn't great? haha

That's funny. I don't get that from stevia- I'm a fan. I get it from cilantro. Bleh. They are unrelated plants, but it's interesting that people get similar flavors from them.

I only use it in my coffee, it was a bit strong at first, but it only took me about a week to adjust, as I drink it in my coffee every morning. I like the brand NuNaturals, and I think the powder form is less bitter than liquid, although I saw someone mention liquid vanilla stevia, that sounds good, as I love vanilla, so I think I'll check that out. I also like Agave, but I've never put that in coffee, only in tea.

I use it in my coffee. The only difference I taste is that my coffee isn't as sweet as it used to be. I did get used to it, though.

I use it and enjoy it! I like the liquid form best. I most recently went to using truvia.. I like it in my coffee. I don't sweeten much else. = )

I love Stevia, but I have found that I have to use very little...Too much and it is over powering...I put it in coffee and in my oatmeal...Much better then the artificial chemical sweeteners... :drinker:

I grew the herb. Chewing a leaf tasted like saccharin to me, so I never bothered learning to use it in cooking.

I don't like it. I've learned to deal with it in the Sobe Lifewater but I believe it's cut with some other sweetener in that. I bought a huge box of Truvia thinking it was going to replace sugar in my morning coffee and that was terrible. If I used one packet of real sugar and one packet of Truvia I could handle it but I'd rather just use the one packet of sugar. My fiance likes it and used up my whole box though he prefers aspartame. I personally prefer Splenda as far as fake sugar goes but usually I just use the real thing.

Just got a tub of Truvia for the first time 2 weeks ago. Made the mistake of using too much in the first cup of tea I made, that was pretty foul. Now I use it in everything. Tastes great :happy:

I have been using a Tate and Lyle brown sugar and stevia mix for my coffee and it tastes fine. I usually hate the taste of sweeteners. I also use a sprinkle of it on my Total 0% greek yogurt now and again. Maybe introduce a mix if you are not like straight stevia.

I use a little bit of it, usually in either tea or to sweeten my oatmeal if I'm not using honey or guava extract. I drink my coffee black, so I haven't tried it there. Haven't noticed any bad taste with it.

I like it. I confess to only using it in coffee. But I think it is the safest of the artificial sweeteners.

I like it too- lasts forever. I use it in my coffee, oatmeal- most anything but I do still prefer honey in my (hot) tea. What don't you like? Use it VERY sparingly- it's easy to over do. Also I've found in hot foods it's best to add it last- after cooking, it doesn't cook well. Some ppl on here actually use/ have stevia plants - I would if I could.
I'd say- experiment with it and if you still hate it, try something else.
it's NOT artificial sweetner- it's natural, like unrefined sugar.

cheers

I use it daily. I like it. I liked it from the beginning.

loved it right from the st art!! Truvia is my choice. Everyone else I speak to tells me it has an after taste. Never experienced it
