It is extremely light weight: 1 volumetric cup of this sweetener will only weigh around 27 g, nothing like the 200 g of a cup of normal sugar. | |

| Sep 29, 2016 at 9:33 | comment | added | No'am Newman | Me too: I tried Stevia drops as well as powder - I couldn't taste any sweetness. I don't have much of a sense of smell and I can't taste most herbs either, so I may not be a good example. I don't rely on my taste buds when cooking. | |
