Another reason is because the bag of Stevia in the Raw I have states that it is gluten - free, so it is safe for those with Celiac disease or gluten
sensitivity (Splenda doesn't say it's gluten - free, the maltodextrin they use is probably from
wheat) The last reason I used Stevia in the Raw is because it's cheaper than the liquid stevia extract I usually use, is more widely
available and is easier to find.
