- Stevia In The Raw Stevia Sweetener Tablets, 100 Ct, Zero Calorie Stevia Sugar Substitute, No Erythritol or Artificial Flavors, Vegan, Gluten Free, Kosher, Low Glycemic Index

Stevia is the best of the sugar substitutes. These little tablets are convenient to carry and to save space in the kitchen.

I really enjoy this little Stevia dispenser! Years ago I could only get this or something like it in Europe. Now we use it daily though I also take it on trips for the ease of carrying it along. It's a safe and natural product in happy to use!

I love to use Stevia at home as my low carb sweetener but I didn't want to keep a glass bottle in my bag in case it were to break so I decided to try these little guys. Not only does the little container fit into my pocket or into small pockets in your bag but it is plastic and I don't have to worry about it shattering while traveling. I took it on vacation to the Dominican Republic where the only sweetener they had was lots and lots of cane sugar (NOT low carb at all lol) and so this came in handy but I was keeping it in my bag for a few weeks prior to test it out and used it in coffee shops and when out to eat or with friends. It tastes great and dissolves pretty fast. I do find that I need to stir my cup a tad before drinking, but they work well. You simply press the brighter green tab on the bottom right inwards and it dispenses from the bottom little slit. I accidentally put a bunch into my cup the first time not realizing that they were coming out because they are very tiny, so now I just make sure to put them into my hand first so that I know how many I am using. Very pleased!

> The package is a dispenser -- push inward on the green "trigger" on the lower right side of the package, and one tablet (or fragment), drops out of the bottom. You don't have to touch the tablets. > You can also remove the cap at the top, but that isn't easy to do, and you risk the entire contents flying around if you try. I'm still finding little white pills in two different rooms in my home from the two times I've taken off the cap. It is best to sit down at a table, and slowly pry up the cap with a dull knife. > Like everyone else complains, many of the tablets were badly broken or reduced to powder. > Baking soda is the first listed ingredient (meaning that it is the major ingredient). That's why the tablets fizz when added to a beverage. Presumably that's why the stevia tastes weird to me (I've used a dozen brands for a dozen years --- so I know what stevia should taste like). But, at least knowing that the odd flavor is harmless baking soda means that I expect to adjust to the flavor easily. Citric acid is the second listed ingredient, (apparently intended to counteract the backing soda flavor) meaning that there is more citric acid than stevia --- Implying that the tablets are at least 60% baking soda and citric acid. > Not as sweet as I expected, presumably because the stevia content is less than the baking soda and sodium citrate contents. The tablets are very small, and stevia is only a minor component of the tablets. > Dissolves quickly, at least in hot liquids (because of the baking soda), but not always completely. I'd rather use harder tablets that I have to stir for a few seconds. > I'm gonna at least try several other brands of stevia tablets before I consider reordering "Stevia In The Raw" tablets. UPDATE: I adjusted to the "different" flavor very quickly. Tablets, or fragments of tablets, tend to form floating islands which are difficult to dissolve. > The tablets worked great for 1 cup of coffee at a time when going out for meals in restaurants. However, I purchased the tablets primarily for a 2-week European cruise --- partly because I did not want to travel with white powder in my suitcase. Unfortunately, the remaining 80, or so, tablets lasted only about 6 days, when used in coffee, tea, and unsweetened ice tea, etc. when traveling. > When I returned from that trip, the "So Sweet" brand tablets that I had also ordered had finally arrived (very late). My first impression of the "So Sweet" tablets, was that they were less fragmented, the dispenser is much larger and less convenient, they may be less sweet per tablet, but the tablets dissolved quicker. "So Sweet" tablets do not work in a (smaller, more convenient) "In the Raw" dispenser. UPDATE: What looks like an identical product has come on the market with the "Splenda" brand. Splenda stevia? Sounds confusing. It's Stevia, not Splenda. The Splenda Stevia comes in an identical (to Stevia in the raw) but larger, dispenser, the tablets are much larger, and there are fewer tablets/dispenser (80 instead of 100). That means that one dispenser is good for 20 cups of coffee for me (at 4 tablets per cup). The Splenda Stevia is not as friable (the tablets are mostly whole tablets, not mostly pieces and powder), does not contain baking soda, but devolves faster in hot coffee or tea. (Which really makes me scratch my head wondering why the heck baking soda is an Steavia in the Raw --- as far as I can tell, it makes the tablets harder to dissolve). That implies that most (probably well over 80% of each Splenda Stevia tablet is filler. Why the heck do the stevia companies feel compelled to use fillers, when smaller tablets with less filler are more desirable?). Overall, with a few pros and cons, the Splenda Stevia is now my first choice.

Great to carry in your purse

I did not like the taste of these. I also did not realize they were small tablets that dissolve. They may be okay for my herbal tea. But you should try these first if you’re used to the packets.

Why would these be helpful? I'm seriously asking for myself. I'm mad I wasted $4 on these. They DO NOT DISSOLVE in cold beverages. The plastic dispenser is over the top, the pellets are broken and do not dissolve. Wasteful packaging, poor application, stupid product.

it's a TINY little plastic container. awful design for dispensing product. the little stevia bits are TEENY tiny so they're a pain to use. they keto getting struck on the tiny hole of the dispenser. it's compact, so it'd fit in even a small bag but still I'd never buy this again. since the pellets are too teeny tiny, it takes like a dozen to sweetest a big pitcher of tea, lemonade, etc. Not a good value, but not horrible pricing, I still prefer this to wasteful packets. it's didn't taste bitter at all, btw.
