02
Keep raw samples refrigerated
When supplied raw, our fermented stevia contains active cultures and should be kept refrigerated, as fermentation can continue over time.
03
Formulating with sugar
In live formulations, added sugars can restart fermentation and alter flavor. Keep refrigerated and consider pasteurization for stability.
04
Balance the acidity
Our fermented stevia is naturally acidic, but a properly balanced formulation should not taste like vinegar. Balance the dosage to bring out its complexity.
