How much stevia equals 1 cup of sugar?

Answer 1

Wow good question,

Since stevia was banned for too long in the USA it isn't as well known there as in the rest of the world (yet). It is a natural plant sugar that is 400 times sweeter than sugar cane sugar. I have been told that some forms are bitter but I use steviana powder and it is real good. Anyway to answer your question it is probably best for you to contact the company that makes the stevia ( I just call it steve!) you have. I know it comes in liquid and powder but there must be different strengths because I read in one place that 1/2 teaspoon equaled 1 cup sugar and in another that 1 teaspoon equaled 1 cup. And the powder I have comes in packets that say each equals 2 teaspoons (odd measurement choice). I am trying to figure out myself how much equals a cup to add to my powder, flavored drink. I also have made my own lemonade and stevia worked and tasted great in it. I have also read that while it is not affected by heat in cooking and baking, there will probably have to be some totally new recipes created as most of the ones now rely on the volume of sugar cane sugar and/ or the inter-action of sugar with the other ingredients in the recipe for it to turn out well. Good Luck and I hope I've helped.
