I buy stevia at home. It comes as a liquid (dissolved in vegetable glycerin). No other additives. I like the liquid because it is readily soluble. However, I use it in my coffee and as a sweetener to my homemade Greek yogurt and fresh fruit combo mostly.

There are various types of Stevia products available, most of them like Truvia, Steviana, Stevia in the Raw, and Natvia have added artificial chemical sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose, and even if they are free from these artificial sweeteners the stevia content is usually extracted by synthetic processes using chemicals such as polyethylene glycol rendering it a chemical although extracted from a plant, these substances are known carcinogens and have potential side effects. No healthier than taking saccharin and the dangers of that are well documented. Completely natural stevia in its organic form is not white, its green or brownish, and does not easily dissolve, in its pure form its not as commercially viable for use as an instant sweetener so its unlikely you will find it anywhere in Dubai. This is what real stevia looks like [url=http://www.buywholefoodsonline.co.uk/stevia-powder-1kg-1.html'>link[/url'> More info on healthy alternatives http://www.healthyeatingontherun.com/artificial-sweeteners.html edited by chezmoi on 22/04/2015 Thats great, thanks for the help
