Very disappointed with this purchase. Advertising not only misleading, but false. Under the "About this product" in their ad, the second line states "USDA Certified Organic". No where on the package does it show "USDA Certified Organic". In fact, no where does not even display "Organic". Had the truth been shown in the ad, I would have moved on after reading and purchased a similar product from another source.
EDIT: I like to ask about heavy metal content in products, and so called the In The Raw company and got someone in Management. They took the time, which I appreciated greatly, to explain about how the product is tested and now I feel even more comfortable using their product. It is tested, and the results must pass with flying colors, before they will use it. The person I spoke to went into as much detail as I needed.
I have used Stevia in the Raw off and on for years. I like the taste and the fact it doesn't taste bitter to me. I was thrilled to find this shaker. SO much easier to use at home. If you're travelling, or just like always having some with you, the packets are great (and I have those as well), but for at home use, the shaker is my new favorite thing!
I love to use Stevia at home as my low carb sweetener but I didn't want to keep a glass bottle in my bag in case it were to break so I decided to try these little guys. Not only does the little container fit into my pocket or into small pockets in your bag but it is plastic and I don't have to worry about it shattering while traveling. I took it on vacation to the Dominican Republic where the only sweetener they had was lots and lots of cane sugar (NOT low carb at all lol) and so this came in handy but I was keeping it in my bag for a few weeks prior to test it out and used it in coffee shops and when out to eat or with friends. It tastes great and dissolves pretty fast. I do find that I need to stir my cup a tad before drinking, but they work well. You simply press the brighter green tab on the bottom right inwards and it dispenses from the bottom little slit. I accidentally put a bunch into my cup the first time not realizing that they were coming out because they are very tiny, so now I just make sure to put them into my hand first so that I know how many I am using. Very pleased!
What a wonderful sweetener. I used to use Splenda for all my cooking, but no more. First of all, I must comment on the packaging - it was wonderful. The actual sweetener comes in small, individual, rectangular packages. It's so handy! And cute! Anyway, about using it in cooking - my husband Horatio is the definition of a picky eater. He won't eats any foods unless they start with the letters S, O and P (it's a long story). I used to cook his Okra in beer, salt and pork fat until one day I mistakenly put in sugar instead of salt. He loved it! Because he's so fat (another long story) I worry about him falling dead so I started substituting Splenda. He loved it! So here we are. As I'm writing this, I'm cooking his favorite - Pickles, Sauerkraut and Oats sprinkled with Stevia in the Raw! Oh hurrah! Hurrah for Horatio!
Great product as an alternative to S&L for type 2 diabetics! Not as sweet but alright.

Using the extract from the sweet leaves of the stevia plant, the delicious flavor comes without any calories and is kosher certified, vegan certified, and naturally gluten-free. Just one packet has the approximate sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar. So go on, sweeten a tea, hot or cold, or sprinkle it on cereal. Bake and cook with it too. Whatever you do, just do it with Stevia In The Raw. Best known for the iconic little brown sugar packets, the In The Raw brand is trusted by families to bring great-tasting sweeteners with high-quality ingredients to your food and drinks. Whether you’re baking a torte or stirring up a pitcher of strawberry lemonade, the In The Raw wholesome family of sweeteners makes it easy to sweeten your favorite recipes.
How have I not known about these? They are great! I recently switched to Stevia in the Raw as my top choice for sweetener, but find that it is not often offered in stores and restaurants. These tablets offer the perfect solution. The case is smaller than a Tic Tac case and holds 100 tablets. The label says two tablets are the equivalent of on packet, but I find three is closer. Still no calories and no carbs.
I've been using PureVia powdered stevia from Costco but when tearing open the small packet, fine powder finds it's way onto the kitchen counter and in my lungs causing me to cough violently. Stevia In The Raw comes in a tiny pellet easily dispensed from a plastic container. It has no bitter after taste and sweetens a large cup of coffee or British tea with only two pellets. I can also take this convenient package on my overseas trips and domestic travels by just reaching into my pocket to sweeten my coffee or tea. Great product!
I love the flavor of tea sweetened with Stevia in the Raw as opposed to other brands of sweeteners. I've tried cheaper brands in the past, and I always come back to this one. It's worth the few extra pennies to go ahead and buy it especially when baking, just use the one formulated for that.
I have this on auto ship and noticed a difference between this order and my last: this time it’s much sweeter. Last box I used two packettes per cup of coffee and this time, only one is plenty sweet enough. Not sure what changed since my last delivery but at least it’ll last twice as long.
I prefer this over the artificial sweeteners.
Sweetener is very good but product can be purchased locally for less money.
