This product is wonderful, but it is critical that you don't over use it at first. I find one mini scoop does a litre of water that I add essential oils too. Makes a wonderful flavoured water. This stuff is a fine powder, not granuals, so it takes a little work to mix in. Some people have posted here that it tastes like dirt- if you put it straight on your tongue, I find you can tell it comes from a real plant. If your really used to chemical sweeteners or sugar, it may need to grow on you. I am so thrilled to finally have a guilt- free sweetener that actually has health benefits of its own. This stuff is wonderful, and I'd encourage the critics to be a little patient while their taste buds adapt, and remember - a little dab will do you! Eating one leaf off my stevia plant is enough for my mouth to complain it's too sweet!
