The high stevioside extracts like Sweta are between 100-150 times sweeter than sugar and should be used in very small quantity. With regular usage the consumer will learn to adjust the quantity according to his/her desired taste.

Since Stevia is 10 to 15 times sweeter than sugar, this is a fair, if approximate, replacement factor. Since the crude herb may vary in strength, some experimentation may be necessary. The high Stevioside extracts are between 200-300 times sweeter than sugar and should be used sparingly. Unfortunately, FDA labeling guidelines may prevent manufacturers from providing a specific replacement factor.
