Stevia

Description

Stevia is a natural sweetener and sugar substitute derived from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana, native to Brazil and Paraguay. The active compounds in stevia, steviol glycosides (including stevioside and rebaudioside), are responsible for its sweetness, which can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar but has negligible calories.

Besides its sweetening properties, stevia is also appreciated for its potential health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Our Stevia extracts are derived from 100% natural Stevia rebaudiana leaves, offering a sweetening solution up to 300 times sweeter than sugar without the caloric intake.

Perfect for formulations aimed at weight management and diabetic-friendly options, our Stevia extracts contribute no calories, supporting a healthy lifestyle. Our extracts are rich in the sweetest and most desirable steviol glycosides, such as Rebaudioside A and Stevioside, ensuring a consistently sweet and clean taste profile.
