It has dextrose, maltodextrin, and sucralose. Sucralose is the "super-sweetener" that is 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Dextrose and maltodextrin are added for bulk and flavor. Stevia Extract in the Raw contains a stevia extract and dextrose. In my "<a href="http://www.drop100pounds.com/2009/01/31/stevia-shoot-out-truvia-vs-stevia-in-the-raw-vs-splenda/" rel="nofollow">Stevia Shoot-Out</a>" piece, I taste tested Stevia Extract in the Raw against Truvia (another Stevia-based sweetener), plain sugar, and Splenda. Stevia Extract in the Raw came in <i>dead</i> last. It had the worst taste, worst mouth feel, and worst aftertaste of the four. If you're dead set on a Stevia-based sweetener, try Truvia.

I use it all the time to sweeten my coffee. I even bake with it too! My friend introduced me to this product and I cannot stop using it! I was using Splenda for soooo long but since it has aspartame in it, I didn't feel too healthy using it. Since Stevia Extract in the Raw is all natural, I am comfortable using this product. I even buy it online directly from their site. check it out at www.steviaextractintheraw.com I use Stevia Extract in the Raw and LOVE it! I use it all the time to sweeten my coffee.
