Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Interesting, Ive heard others claim this as well, but I've been using stevia mostly in its raw form for about 18 yrs and have never noticed that taste. If I buy the stevia I use the Sweet Leaf brand for the liquids Or KAL for the white powder. huggs zoe Saturday, December 30, 2006, 10:43:42 AM, you wrote: > Stevia has a licorice taste to it. > Stuck > [lists] Re: Re: Top 12 natural superfood > Stevia is a nutrion and it helps your teeth , keeps from cavities > . you should look it up and see how beneficail it is not JUST a sweetener replacement. > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: Alobar <Alobar@...> > Duncan, > Is there any reason to call Stevia a superfood?
