 Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, GingerHoney. Coconut nectar is a great alternative to refined sugar and agave nectar in terms of how the body metabolizes it, but do keep in mind that it is still high-carb. It is used like simple syrup (concentrated sugar water), in amounts similar to regular sugar. When you use it, do so in moderation – it can all add up. |
 gingerhoney 12 years ago | I personally dont like the taste of stevia. Can I replace it with coconut nectar? If so, how do I substitute the amount needed? |
 Parfitt 12 years ago | I agree with you about the recipes. Many of them don’t make sense.
Tell me what’s wrong with using Stevia!!!! |
| Parfitt 12 years ago | Thanks!
I’ll give it a try. |
| Ossie-Sharon 12 years ago | Hi, Parfitt. There is a range of opinions on this. To substitute for 1/2 cup sugar can take anywhere from 1/2 teaspoon to 3 teaspoons of Stevia powder. I suggest using the try-and-taste method. |
| Parfitt 12 years ago | I have a number of favourite family recipes that call for sugar. Will Stevia powder work in these recipes?
How much Stwvia powder equals 1/2 cup sugar? |
