Stevia In The Raw is a zero-calorie sweetener made from stevia leaf extract blended with dextrose, a corn-derived carbohydrate, so each packet scoops and dissolves like sugar. The blend is the point: pure stevia extract is 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, and the dextrose carries it so it measures and pours easily. It is aimed at people cutting sugar and calories in coffee, tea, cereal and baking, and it avoids the licorice-like aftertaste older stevia products were known for. Against single-ingredient stevia powders it is easier to portion but not calorie-free in the strictest sense, since dextrose is a carbohydrate; against sucralose and aspartame packets it is plant-derived and heat-stable for cooking.

Stevia In The Raw Natural Sweetener is a zero-calorie sweetener made from the leaves of the stevia plant. It has no added sugars and is 100% natural. It can be used to sweeten food and drinks, and for baking and cooking.
The sweetest extract from the stevia leaves is isolated to give sweetening power without the licorice-like aftertaste. The extract is 300 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, so it is blended with dextrose, an all-natural carbohydrate derived from corn.
