This conversion chart is based on dissolving the given sweetener into 8 ounces of warm water and a lot of tasting. Try this test at home so that you can begin to understand how Stevia sweetens foods and drinks. It also allows you a wonderful opportunity to taste the flavor of Stevia unadulterated by other flavors. When you have finished your own taste tests, you can then alter the conversion chart as needed to meet your personal sweetness level.

*NOTE: It is very difficult to equate other brands of Steviosides into this conversion simply because each brand will vary greatly in quality and taste. Each company has their own source for Steviosides tha range from Paraguay, Brazil to China to even India and the Ukraine. Each country or region will produce stevia plants of differing quality and then these companies will produce Steviosides from the plants of differing quality due to differences in technology. To exacerbate the problem even more, everyone has their own personal level of what they consider sweet. Now Im not trying to frighten anyone because the benefits are worth a little experimentation. Please remember that the use of Steviosides in the United States is in its infancy and so we still have a lot of trial and error ahead of us. I have also found that sugar can vary greatly depending on manufacturer and quality.
