What is Stevia?

Stevia Rebaudiana (Stevia Reb A) is a small perennial shrub that belongs to the Asteraceae family.  The plant is originally native to Paraguay and Brazil but is now also grown in Japan and China.  It is used as a non-nutritive sweetener and herbal supplement.

Stevia is commonly known as candy-leaf, sweet-leaf or sugar-leaf.  It is a small seasonal plant which grows to a height of 1–2 feet.  It has elongated leaves that grow along the stems and are lined up against each other.

Stevia Rebaudioside A 99% is derived from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, and is 99% + in purity.  Rebaudioside A is the more potent and pleasant tasting of the two major extracts of the stevia plant, known as steviol glycosides.  Rebaudioside A is widely consumed as a sugar alternative that can be mixed with other sweet natural products, such as honey, maple syrup or any other product where you would use sugar.  It is heat stable and can be used for cooking and baking.

Stevia is a natural sweetener that is 500 times sweeter than sugar.  There is no promotion of tooth decay when using Stevia and there are ZERO calories per serving!  Stevia does not create blood sugar spikes and is safe for those with blood sugar imbalances or sensitive to artificial sweeteners.  This ingredient may be added to foods and beverages or smoothies and green drinks.  It is a pure white powder and has no fillers or binders, additives or preservatives.

 

Use & Benefits:

Although Stevia has no real health benefits, it may prove to be beneficial in some applications.  For example, if your long-term goal is to lower your blood sugar levels, a zero-calorie sweetener like Sucralose can satisfy a sweet tooth while not affecting weight or blood sugar.

If you have diabetes, Stevia may help keep your blood sugar levels in check but please consult your healthcare professional to see if Stevia would be suitable for you.

Because Stevia is calorie-free and is 500 times sweeter than sugar, using Stevia in large blends of health food products, baking mixtures or making soft drinks, will prove to be very useful.  For example:

A 1kg amount of protein, whether dairy or plant based protein could have up to 3g of Stevia which is a very small amount, meaning you can add more of the good stuff and less for the sweetener.

Stevia like sugar has a very long shelf life and can help preserve the ingredients it has been added to.
