Best pure stevia sweeteners

Top pick: Pure Organic Stevia Extract — a single-ingredient organic stevia leaf powder with no maltodextrin, dextrose or erythritol, and the strongest ratings of the pure options here. A little goes a long way, so start with a pinch.

Who the others suit:

• Pyure Organic Stevia Extract — the most-reviewed pure extract; a good everyday jar if you want a familiar brand.
• Micro Ingredients Organic Stevia Powder — bulk buyers who sweeten a lot and want one big bag.
• CCnature Pure Stevia Extract — the budget route, explicitly made without erythritol.
• Organic Pure Stevia — neutral, no added flavours, for people who dislike stevia's bitter edge.

Skip anything bulked with erythritol or maltodextrin, and note that liquid drops usually carry preservatives or alcohol.
