Sun Crystals Brand Sweetener

Wednesday November 4, 2009

My stevia is long dried and stored for the winter. Since it is so easy to make my own simple sweetener, I don't buy the prepackaged varieties. I did however, try one brand and then blogged about my experience with it.

I am admittedly, a diehard fan of just growing and making my own, but for those who do like to use the little packages, here is another sweetener that looks promising:

Sun Crystals - What looks attractive to me is that it is made from simply blending stevia with sugar, so that you get the sweetness, without added chemicals. From the website, I pulled these points:


Made of sugar and stevia

Safe for Diabetics(up to 3 packets is still considered a Free Food)

Safe for Pregnant and Nursing moms

Can be used in baking and cooking


I have ordered their granulated blend(to try for cooking) and a box of packets. Let's see how it tastes!


If you have experience with this product, please post in the comments section. I have been unable to find it in any grocery store around here, and have to wait for my online order to arrive, before testing. Thanks!
