Dextrose is a filler starch. Raw concentrated sweetener would be more than you could handle, so the dextrose is added to allow you to use the artificial sweetener like you would use table sugar, e.g. spooning it or baking with it.
If you buy liquids then you don't get filler starch like dextrose.
- Zelphyr 12y agoThanks for clarifying that! That's been bugging me forever. :)
- delackner 12y agoHmm. I bought a small container of pure stevia powder from Whole Foods, and it has a little tiny spoon I'd say about 1/20th a teaspoon. Put even that small amount in a cup of tea and it is as sweet as a whole packet of sugar.
