FAQ
About Kivira
What is Kivira Sweet Drops?
Kivira Sweet Drops are a clean, sugar-like liquid sweetener made with brazzein (a natural protein sweetener), citric acid, a tiny amount of potassium sorbate for preservation, and purified water. It tastes like sugar, without the sugar.
What does it taste like?
Clean and sugar-like, no bitterness or cooling aftertaste. Most people feel it’s closest to table sugar.
How do I use it?
Start with 1–3 drops in 8–12 oz of coffee, tea, smoothies, or recipes. Stir and adjust to taste. A little goes a long way.
How strong is it compared to sugar?
Brazzein is very sweet by weight, so you’ll use drops, not spoonfuls. Dial it in for your taste; you’ll get the hang of it quickly.
Can I cook or bake with it?
Yes for cold/room-temp and most hot drinks. For baking, it sweetens well but doesn’t provide sugar’s bulk/browning—use alongside a bulking agent (e.g., applesauce, allulose, or flour adjustments).
