Stevia Rebaudiana

Stevia is a natural sweetener extracted from plant leaves. It is native to Brazil and Paraguay where it was traditionally used to sweeten local teas and medicines. Its active compounds, steviol glycosides, have up to 150 times the sweetness of sugar while having the benefit of being calorie free.

Stevia is a safe and natural sweetener that is a healthier alternative to sugar. Since the body does not metabolize the glycosides, Stevia contains 0 calories which is a benefit for customers on dietary restrictions.
