Truvia vs NuStevia

in the last few months, i decided to quit using Splenda (after reading in depth about it, it seriouslly surprises me that its not killing people right & left) after my liver enzymes rose for no reason.

after reading on here about stevia, i decided to give that a try.  i purchased NuStevia from a local health food store & loved it.  (pricey, but for how little u have to use, it totally works out just as cheap if not cheaper than alternatives.)  i reordered it in bulk online after my small health food store package ran out to get it even cheaper. 

well i accidentally ran out & my next big bag doesn't fedex to my house until tomorrow, so i had to resort to getting Truvia from my local wal-mart to last me through this weekend.

OMG now i totally get what all of u were saying when u said if u don't like ONE stevia product, to totally not give up & try another, that it depends on whether or not they use the quality (high priced) parts of the plant or just the stems, etc.  well OMG that is so true!

i love love love love love NuStevia & figured i'd like Truvia.  i hate Truvia.  its grainy & leaves an after-taste.  i also have to use more of it to taste the sweetness.  ill stick to NuStevia thank u!

so if any of u out there tried Truvia & think the stevia plant is gross, leaves an after taste, etc... do not give up at least until u try NuStevia. 

just sayin...

Thank you for posting that! I will try Nustevia where did you get it at online?

i order direct from NuNaturals that makes it!

www.nunaturals.com

(use coupon code 20kjr for a discount - something like 20% if memory serves)

i order the NuStevia White Stevia Powder 5lb bag for $83.49 (but it ends up being $66.79 after the coupon code since shipping is free for orders over $35) ---- ( i order it in 5 lb bags now because i already know i like it & that's cheapest)

I HATE Splenda, it makes me so sick! I will have to try NuStevia!

Thanks for this informative post...just orderd 1000 packets for $63.00 free ship on Amazon...3-5 days here.

Great post!!

Thanks for this resouce, I'm going to order 100 packets for $9.99 and if i like it, I'll order more.

I soooo agree! NuNaturals is the only stevia if you ask me. It doesn't have that bitter aftertaste that so many brands do. It's great to bake with too!

Thanks for the info.  I need to start using a sugar substitute.

Thanks!

i was surprised that the TEXTURES differed so much

Truvia has a grainy, almost large granuled sugar/salt looking texture

NuStevia has a powdered sugar texture/look to it.  in fact, my only complaint about NuStevia is when i get my 5 lb bag in & transfer it to my large rubbermaid container is that it is SOOO powdery as opposed to granular that a little powder "fog" comes up when i dump it from the bag into the sealable container!
