Dried Stevia Leaves
Stevia, with the scientific name Stevia rebaudiana, is a bushy shrub that belongs to the sunflower family. Stevia is an intensely sweet tasting plant that has been used to sweeten beverages and tea since the 16th century. The plant is native to Paraguay and Brazil, but is now cultivated in Thailand. As a non-nutritive sweetener, it is used as a healthy alternative to added sugar in many foods and beverages. The natural sweetener tastes 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar. Stevia can be classified as "zero calorie". The sweet tasting components in Stevia sweeteners are naturally occurring. This characteristic may benefit people who prefer naturally sourced foods and beverages. The zero calorie count qualifies Stevia as a healthy alternative for diabetes control or weight loss. Worldwide, more than 5,000 food and beverage products currently use Stevia as an ingredient in products throughout Asia and South America.
