I am finding that the amount of this product needed to sweeten tea, for instance, is about the same as sugar. Therefore this is not a very economical sweetener, compared to stevia products.

There is a slight fruity fragrance to it, which is ok, but didn’t seem to affect the taste of tea despite changing the fragrance of the tea a little.

When we (my husband and I) did the taste test, after sweetening two glasses of the same tea to what I perceived as the same level of sweetness, we couldn’t tell the difference between NuStevia and Slimsweet.

We also tried mixing the two samples of tea together, as I had read that combining the two improves the flavor, but we couldn’t tell any difference.

— Added the day after. After doing the above taste tests, I took a gallon of freshly-made sun tea, sweetened it with this product, and put it in the refrigerator as we often do. When I got up this morning I drank some, and I thought it tasted awful, but I didn’t say anything to my husband. Later this afternoon he told me he really didn’t like the new sweetener and please don’t use it again. I don’t know what changed from the tea samples we had yesterday.

If I could change this to 2 stars, I would.

Because it is low on the glycemic index, for year we have used Slim Sweet for everything from cooking in recipes to sprinkling on cereal.

That about says it all….it’s simply horrible. It’s not sweeter than sugar. It’s not even AS sweet as sugar, and if you use enough to get an equal in sweetness, you end up with a really bad tasting drink. I’m glad I got it on sale, because I tossed all 4 bottles after the first taste.
