Quick Sweetness Conversion Chart

Because pure stevia is roughly 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar (sucrose), start conservatively and adjust to your personal preference:

Desired Sweetness (Sugar)	KAL Sure Stevia Liquid Equivalent
1 Teaspoon Sugar	2 - 5 Drops (approx. 0.06 - 0.15 ml)
1 Tablespoon Sugar	10 - 15 Drops (approx. 0.3 - 0.45 ml)
¼ Cup Sugar	½ to ¾ Teaspoon Liquid Extract
1 Cup Sugar	2 to 3 Teaspoons Liquid Extract

Pro-tip for baking: When replacing large volumes of granulated sugar with liquid stevia, compensate for the lost bulk and moisture by incorporating unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, or almond flour into your batter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Does KAL Sure Stevia Liquid Extract have a bitter or metallic aftertaste?

Most common stevia complaints stem from alcohol-based tinctures or low-grade leaf extractions. KAL Sure Stevia is formulated in an alcohol-free kosher vegetable glycerin base, which naturally tempers the sharp edge of the steviol glycosides. When measured properly, it provides a clean, rounded sweetness without the lingering bitterness common in commercial sweetener packets.

2. Is this formula completely alcohol-free?

Yes. Unlike many liquid stevia extracts on the market that use an alcohol solvent base, KAL Sure Stevia Liquid Extract uses only pure kosher vegetable glycerin and purified water. This eliminates burning sensations, unpleasant chemical odors, and alcohol-related flavor distortions.

3. Does KAL Sure Stevia contain erythritol, dextrose, or maltodextrin?

No. KAL Sure Stevia Liquid contains zero filler sweeteners. Many powdered stevia packets contain up to 99% dextrose or erythritol to provide bulk. KAL's liquid formula contains only pure stevia leaf extract, kosher vegetable glycerin, and water.

4. Is KAL Sure Stevia safe for keto diets and diabetics?

Yes. Stevia glycosides pass through the upper digestive tract without being metabolized as carbohydrates. KAL Sure Stevia has a glycemic index of zero, contributes zero net carbs, and does not induce blood glucose spikes or insulin surges.

5. Can I use KAL Sure Stevia Liquid Extract in hot coffee, tea, and baking?

Yes. The steviosides in this extract are thermally stable and will not break down or turn bitter at standard baking and brewing temperatures (up to 392°F / 200°C). It blends immediately into both boiling-hot and iced beverages without requiring vigorous stirring.

6. How many servings are in a 4 oz bottle, and how long does it last?

Each 4 oz bottle contains approximately 775 servings (based on a 5-drop serving size). For someone sweetening two cups of coffee or tea daily, a single bottle typically lasts well over a year.

7. Does KAL Sure Stevia need to be refrigerated after opening?

No, refrigeration is not required. The kosher vegetable glycerin acts as a natural stabilizer. Store the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry pantry or cabinet away from direct sunlight.

8. How does liquid stevia differ from whole-leaf or green stevia powder?

Whole-leaf green stevia powder contains raw, unrefined leaf solids that do not dissolve in water and impart an earthy, herbal, licorice-like flavor. KAL Sure Stevia Liquid Extract isolates the sweet steviosides into a clear, water-soluble liquid that dissolves cleanly with minimal botanical undertones.

9. What should I do if a recipe tastes bitter after using liquid stevia?

Bitterness is almost always a sign of over-concentration. Because pure liquid stevia is hundreds of times sweeter than table sugar, even 2–3 extra drops can oversaturate taste receptors. Always start with 2 to 3 drops, sample, and scale up drop by drop. As a dietary supplement, take 1-3 servings daily, preferably with meals. Shake before using.
