**Disclosure: To review this product, I received a big box of samples to try along with a recipe booklet of ways to use the product**
To help me with this review, I called upon my sister, Sharon, and her family!
Here’s what she said:
I had the opportunity to try a whole range of Stevia-based products by
NuNaturals.
In case you haven’t heard, Stevia is derived from the leaves of a plant and can be used as a natural sweetener. It can be sold in crude form (dried leaves), or more often it is seen as a purified extract.
Health Canada permits its use as a sweetener in certain food products but acknowledges that more research is needed to confirm any health effects it may have. (There are thoughts that it may lower blood sugar levels in diabetics.) You may have seen it used in different products in the grocery store, including yogurt and diet soda.
I received a whole box of very interesting looking items and began to
experiment with different ways to use them.
My husband, being a diabetic who loves sweets, was anxious to get in on the sampling as well!
My favourite product is the NuStevia Simple Syrup.
Most people would make a regular simple syrup by a lot of sugar to a little bit of water. Not good for a diabetic – or anyone for that matter! I added about a 1/4 teaspoon of NuStevia Simple Syrup to a glass of carbonated water (Thanks SodaStream!) and a dash of lime juice for a very low-cal deliciously refreshing drink! Mmmm!
I’m sure this would be equally good in ice tea. I tried making chocolate milk with the cocoa syrup. Not bad, but I found this one had a bit of an aftertaste.
The other product that I really enjoyed was the Pure Liquid NuStevia. This comes in little dropper bottles in many different flavours.
I tried the Pure Liquid Cherry Vanilla NuStevia in carbonated water (Thanks again,
SodaStream!) and came up with something that tasted a lot like Dr Pepper. I only used about 7 drops of this. It is powerful stuff!
I used the lemon version of this a few times when baking lemon biscotti. It gave a really nice intense lemon flavour.
There are also peppermint, orange, vanilla and plain Pure Liquids that can be used to add an extra burst of flavour to a lot of things.
All of this was sampled by my diabetic husband, who also enjoyed the flavours and experienced no ill effects on blood sugar after consumption.
I’d recommend using them in products that contain a bit of flavour of their own as some do have a slight aftertaste.
