I find alot of info on the net about stevia, but cannot find this.
What does it taste like? One article said like licorace.
Are there any carbs in stevia?
How many calories are in it?
Thank you so much.

You can find Stevia at any healh food store, or a natural store like Wild Oats. It is sold as a nutritional supplement, so go in and ask for it by name. Most likely you wont be able to find it next to the sugar or other artificial sweeteners. I have used Stevia for years, and never thought it tasted like licorice. I just think it tastes like sugar. It is carb and calorie free, it is 100 percent natural, so it is good for you. Some companies also stick a little fiber in it.
The one I buy comes in little packets like sweet n low or equal, but they are green.

My friend keeps a stevia plant (you use the leaves and pinch them and put them in a drink like tea) and she says it simply tastes sweet (like sugar) but not as strong.
You can buy it at health food stores in tiny pill form (to carry w/o making a mess), powder packets, liquid, or like a canister of it to spoon out. Zero calories for one serving.

Zero calories and 1 gram of carbs per packet or per I gram of stevia.
