When looking for an authentic sugar alternative, KAL Sure Stevia Extract Powder provides pure plant-derived sweetness without compromises. Unlike conventional retail sweeteners that blend minimal stevia with up to 99% bulking agents like erythritol, dextrose, or maltodextrin, Sure Stevia Extract Powder delivers exclusively 100% pure Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract.
The VitaNet Quality Standard: Over 30 years in professional nutritional retail confirms that carrier fillers defeat the metabolic purpose of non-nutritive sweeteners. KAL's single-ingredient formulation provides approximately 1,818 zero-calorie, zero-glycemic servings in every 3.5-ounce shaker bottle.
Derived from the sweet foliage of the South American perennial shrub Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni (Asteraceae family), this concentrated botanical extract contains potent, naturally occurring steviol glycosides. Purified to eliminate the heavy, licorice-like bitterness characteristic of raw, crude leaf powders, KAL Sure Stevia yields clean, bright sweetness that instantly dissolves in hot or cold beverages, functional smoothies, and specialized culinary recipes.
For individuals managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or strict ketogenic protocols, sweetener selection directly impacts glycemic regulation. The physiological action of purified steviol glycosides differs fundamentally from nutritive sugars and sugar alcohols:

Because pure steviol glycosides are approximately 200 to 300 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), measuring requires precision. Over-concentrating stevia triggers bitter receptor pathways (TAS2R4 and TAS2R14) on the human palate. Using the included micro-scoop ensures exact sweetness without bitterness.
Baking Tip for Low-Carb Chefs: Steviol glycosides are thermo-stable up to 392°F (200°C), making them heat-resilient for baking. However, because pure stevia does not provide the physical volume, caramelization, or moisture retention of sugar, pair it with natural bulking agents such as almond flour, unsweetened applesauce, or egg white meringue in cakes and cookies.
No. KAL Sure Stevia Extract Powder contains exactly one ingredient: pure Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract. It contains zero erythritol, zero dextrose, zero maltodextrin, and zero chemical flow agents. It is 100% pure botanical extract without diluting carriers.
No. Purified steviol glycosides carry a glycemic index (GI) of 0 and contain zero net carbohydrates and zero calories per serving. Clinical trials show that stevia does not raise serum glucose or stimulate insulin release, making it fully compatible with ketogenic diets, intermittent fasting, and diabetes management.
Bitterness in whole-leaf or unrefined stevia comes from crude plant compounds and essential oils interacting with human bitter taste receptors. KAL's extraction method isolates premium sweet steviol glycosides while removing bitter terpenes, resulting in clean sweetness without the licorice finish when used at recommended serving sizes.
The 3.5-ounce (100-gram) container provides approximately 1,818 individual servings. Each serving is delivered via an included micro-measuring scoop calibrated to 55 mg, which provides the sweetness equivalent of approximately one full teaspoon of sugar.
Yes. Steviol glycosides maintain molecular stability up to 392°F (200°C) without breaking down or developing acrid flavors. Because it is highly concentrated, only 1/2 teaspoon is needed to match the sweetness of 1 full cup of sugar; combine with alternative flours to compensate for the baking bulk of sucrose.
Yes. Stevia is completely non-cariogenic. Dental research indicates that cariogenic oral bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans cannot ferment steviol glycosides into enamel-eroding lactic acid, helping protect teeth and gums.
