À propos du stevia

Stevia is a small, leafy plant that was first discovered more than 200 years ago by the native people in South America. Because of its natural origins and claimed health benefits, it has been heralded as a « miracle sweetener ». It is a plant based naturally-sourced sugar substitute, and has no calories, no carbohydrates, and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is a healthier alternative to artificial sweeteners and sugar. The leaves of the stevia plant are uniquely, naturally sweet and the indigenous people used to chew them for the sweet taste and to sweeten beverages. Today, the sweetness of stevia is extracted and purified into high purity stevia leaf extract and used in foods and beverages around the world. It perfectly works in varieties of foods and beverages such as chocolate, sweets, ketchup, ice cream, yogurts, soft drinks, other sweetened products.
