Now Foods, Better Stevia, Organic Extract Powder, 1 lb (454 g) Product Review

Price gap for Japanese customers. The taste does not blend. Great stevia. Good. Sweet enough. Satisfying. Gave me really bad acne. Been using this for years. There is nothing wrong. Excellent

Did you know that, over the past year or so, Foodpharmacy Blog has seen an ever-increasing number of products with completely different prices in Japan only? For example, this 1-pound product is US $65.65 in all other countries. US $74.41 only in Japan. The difference is close to US $9! Next door South Korea also has US $65.65. There is no proper explanation when complaining to customer service. Japanese people are regarded as friendly and non-claiming customers, so if they do not properly claim such discrimination, I think Japan will continue to be a target of unscrupulous business law. As a long-time Foodpharmacy Blog user, and knowing that many Japanese people are ignorant of this kind of unscrupulous marketing, I was unable to keep silent and commented. Lately, I have noticed that the price for some of the products are priced differently for Japanese customers only. For example, the 1lb tub of stevia is generally sold for US $65.65, but sold for US $74.41 for Japanese customers. ie, Foodpharmacy Blog is charging US $9 extra for Japanese customers only for the same product! I have never experienced such discriminatory marketing and felt it necessary to bring this to attention for my fellow Japanese users. As a long time Foodpharmacy Blog user, I hope that Foodpharmacy Blog urgently reviews such discriminatory practices and corrects their pricing as appropriate.

Whether added to sweets or drinks, Stevia’s peculiar aftertaste and sweetness, rather than its unique aftertaste, erases all the umami and aroma of other ingredients. After a while, I understood that the aftertaste remained below and was not used as a sweetener. I didn’t like the taste of this unique stevia and it was expensive, so I’m sorry, but I will dispose of it.

Beautiful stevia, a child on a diet, accustomed to her taste, I limit sugar.

High-quality, useful, economically used. BUT I still can’t get used to her taste (because of this I took 1 star).

Fully satisfy the regrets and cravings of ketogenic dieters for sweets, as well as the effect of lowering blood sugar

It is great but gave me acne! I had to toss out the extra bottle i bought. What a shame. When i googled ‘Stevia acne’ – the internet told me that stevia was supposed to prevent acne. I have concluded that corporations are an evil bunch and will finance all kinds of fake findings to deceive their customers. After I stopped, the acne disappeared. If you don’t experience acne, please continue!

Love this stuff. I add it to my water bottle with a splash of ACV and lime essential oil. Very nice drink. I also use it in baking, replacing 1C sugar with a scant teaspoon of this.

Good, I hope not to raise the price!

Excellent and not much needed.
