Stevia Facts
The Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni (commonly called Stevia) plant is a member of the Chrysanthemum family.
Stevia is a natural sweet-herb with no calories and no carbohydrates. The leafs of the sweet-herb have been utilised to sweeten food and teas for hundreds of years; particularly in its native growing place of South America. In Paraguay it is called “Ka’a He’e” (“Sweet Herb”).
The sweetness comes from steviol glycosides and rebaudiosides, two natural compounds found in the plants that are extracted for use as natural sweetener.
Today, the majority of stevia products on the market are standardised for stevioside. This genius natural sweetener is more than 200 times sweeter than sugar, making it highly efficient. A little goes a long way when using this great natural calorie free sugar substitute.
Due to Stevia’s pure natural sweetening properties it is an instinctive choice for everyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle, as well as for people with diabetes and those watching their sugar consumption.
Highest quality and pure, consistently sweet taste
Stevia-sweet extracts are made from the best part of the stevia leaf.
Other lower grade stevia products are known to leave a bitter aftertaste, which is due to impurities. Stevia-sweet is made using a highly developed process that separates the impurities, leaving only the best tasting part of the stevioside to provide a consistently sweet taste.
We only offer Stevia products to buy in the UK that we have tried, tested and love…..and we think you will love them too!
