Organic Stevia is a good sweetener. You can get commercial brands of stevia in some supermarkets and health food shops but I haven't looked into the healthiness of the extraction process for commercial brands or whether they use unhealthy additives.. I buy organic Stevia powder online and it's fine in baking (although it does give a slightly green tinge if you use a lot) but it's an acquired taste in some hot drinks. I've grown to like it.Had never heard of this before joining the forum - tended to use a small amount of honey, or some Splenda.
Why is Coconut Oil better and where is best to buy it please?
Excellent, you answered the main question I've just realised!Organic Stevia is a good sweetener.

You can get organic coconut sugar which is a really gorgeous sweetener and smells/tastes a bit like demerara sugar. In a 4g serving, approx 1tspn, there are:
15kcal
0 fat
0 cholesterol
9mg sodium
4mg total carbohydratw
0 protein
It's low GI and high in magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron and b vitamins. The brand I use is Coconom organic coconut sugar. Yum!
It's nice with porridge and it slows the absorption of the oats. I use it a lot like that - £7.99 for 400g jar of Biona organic coconut oil, which lasts a long time, it's a big jar. You can tell I go for organicThank you - I was confused as I just read a post about adding it to porridge!
