General Information
Botanical Name: Stevia rebaudiana
Certified Organic
Origin: India
Production
Powdered stevia leaf is produced from the dried foliage of an evergreen shrub related to the sunflower native to South America. In temperate regions it can be grown as an annual or herbaceous perennial.
Qualities
Stevia leaves have a gentle licorice-like flavour and a sweetness that is said to be up to 200 times
stronger than sugar. Research has shown that stevia, as a sweetener, does not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet and that it has no effect on blood glucose or insulin response. This means that it is an especially good alternative sweetener for people with diabetes or those who are wishing to reduce their caloric intake from sweeteners.
Common Use
Stevia is used as an alternative to sugar in beverages, baked goods, and many other foods.
