TRUVIA
SWEET, NATURALLY
By Felicia Pesis
This product is definitely worth trying!
Look out, ladies! There is a new, 100-percent natural no-calorie sweetener on the market – Truvia. This sweetener offers the same refreshingly sweet taste as regular sugar without any of the unnecessary calories. To allow consumers to taste this natural sweetener, Cargill offered the "First Taste Moment" at a greenhouse they constructed in Rockefeller Center. Anyone passing by was able to sample both iced tea and lemonade sweetened with Truvia. I tried both, and they were delicious. I could not taste any difference between them and drinks flavored with sugar.
While Truvia is currently only available in-stores at D'Agostino, luckily, for those looking for a natural, calorie-free sweetener, it can be purchased online in 40-packet cartons for only $3.99 at truvia.com. Also, according to Cargill executives, within the next few months, this natural sweetener will be available at most local retail stores, so keep your eyes peeled; this product is definitely worth trying!
