> Zevia sodas.

I'm not asking for products with the stuff in there, I'm asking for the raw product. Interesting that company has Disney copyright at the bottom, oh, I see... marketing.

> “stevia blended with other sweeteners”

In small letters, of course. I'd argue that most people don't look past the headline of 'STEVIA IN THE RAW'.

> Why do you feel the need to purchase and use powdered added sweetener products in your cooking?

I personally don't add it, but the partner likes it. When I started to investigate what they were adding (mostly because it gives me a massive amount of flatulence), I found a whole lot of "truth in advertising" failure. We've since stopped and I've become a more aware of the reality of this stuff.




>I'm asking for the raw product.

You can't have stevia powder without some sort of filler/carrier. Undiluted stevia extract is too sweet to be usefully measurable in the typical kitchen. These makers aren't trying to be nefarious.

You can get SweetLeaf which uses inulin (fiber) instead of dextrose https://www.amazon.com/SweetLeaf-Natural-Stevia-Sweetener-70...

You can also get stevia in liquid form which is just in water, and there are a few different brands https://www.amazon.com/s?k=stevia+drops&crid=3TEZDE5EKSQZ1&s...
