Is it available at other stores - or is it a Whole Foods branded product? <i>It looks like it is exclusively at Whole Foods right now. It's not a Whole Foods brand, though. Perhaps if it sells well enough there, it will get into other stores.

Powdered pure stevia leaf, liquid stevia, and pure erythritol, which is granular and doesn't need a bulking agent, can be purchased in health food stores and in supermarket health food sections. I do like Truvia's mix of stevia and erythritol, which avoids the bitterness of pure stevia and the laxative effect of pure erythritol. <i>Fair enough. But it is the only MAJOR non-caloric sweetener made with stevia with no maltodextrin on the market today. That's what I meant to say. THANKS for letting me clarify, Sonagi. :D --Jimmy</i> Truvia is not the only non-caloric sweetener that does not use “that really nasty ingredient,” maltodextrin.
