Stevia has no carbs?

[Iwantlessofme]

Am I correct in saying that stevia has no carbs? In other words it's not just <1 and I need to count it? I am about to order it and want to make sure what I am thinking I am getting is what I am getting. If that makes sense.

If it is not bulked with anything (maltodextrin, glycerine, other carriers), it has no carbs. The pure white extract is extremely sweet, so even just a dusting of it goes a long way!

Lauren, Thanks for the info, I appreciate it very much!

Hi IwLoM...
Liquid Splenda has no carbs, and stevia with no carbs has the added 'benefit' of bitter after-taste. It can be had in 'other form' such as Truvía which is a Stevia/Erythirol combo with 0 net carbs...it has no after-taste and the somewhat typical granulated sugar texture which is good - sometimes.

My carb count for the day is rarely so close to the edge that a packed of splenda (when I elect to use one) puts me over my limit.

I think part of the reason people like Stevia is because they are skeptical about sucralose.

I use Stevia a lot and mixed with xylitol in baked goods it doesn't have a bitter aftertaste really.
