The refined extracts of Stevia called steviosides (a white powder, 85-95% Steviosides) can be 100-150 times sweeter than table sugar. Stevioside has a unique sweet taste slightly different to cane sugar and may require some getting used to by people who are used to years of cane sugar usage.

Pure Stevia extract is about 300 times sweeter than sugar. You may therefore need to experiment with it to determine the correct amount to use for each new application, adapting quantity to suit your own taste.
