How much stevia equals a teaspoon of sugar?

Pure stevia extract is far sweeter than sugar, so start with a tiny pinch, roughly 1/16 to 1/8 teaspoon, for a teaspoon of sugar and adjust to taste.

Does it have calories or sugar?

No. Pure stevia extract is essentially calorie-free and contains no sugar.

Only with adjustments. Pure stevia lacks sugar's bulk and browning, so it works best in drinks and simple recipes rather than cakes and cookies.

Yes. It is a plant-derived extract and is listed as vegan.

Why does it taste bitter?

Stevia's compounds can register as bitter or licorice-like, especially in large amounts. Use less and add it to something with acidity or fat to mask it.

Is $12.77 a good price?

It is the only new price listed as of November 5, 2026, so there is no recent range to judge against. Compare the jar size with other pure stevia extracts before buying.
