Is anybdy out there using stevia?

[W1ze]

I tried it before but didn't like it, I do like several teas that have stevia included in the blend, I wanted to know if anybody uses it, is it like regualar sugar as far as adding it in recipes and how does it taste, compared to more conventional recipes, my wife and I cook and bake alot but we use turbinado sugar, which I think is better than the white stuff, but if I can compleely elimiate sugar from my diet and still enjoy the same food I'm all for it.

[plzno]

I was wondering the same thing...

I have some stevia leaves that I bought by the pound a few months ago from mountainroseherbs and I don't use it all the time but I do occasionally put some in my smoothies for a little sweetness. I kind of like the stevia taste especially when it's used in teas like some of dherbs teas. As far as recipes like cakes and stuff like that I just use grade b maple syrup or raw agave nectar or even dates.
