Stevia

I'm the first to admit that I didn't always like stevia.  It always kind of had a weird after taste that I couldn't tolerate.  At first I couldn't understand why everyone kept saying that this stuff was sweet because I found it to be so bitter.  I recently realized that stevia is SO sweet that when you apply too much it can have a flavor that's almost... well... bitter!  A few pinches of stevia is all that is needed to sweeten things.  When I did this, my food was sweet again.  I guess I truly am a product of a culture that likes to overdo things!
