Description: Stevia Extract is a sweetener from the small (Stevia rebaudiana) plants. Stevia, also called the "sweet herb of Paraguay," is a perennial shrub of the aster family, with incredibly sweet, small leaves. The dried and ground fine leaves can be used as a natural sugar substitute. The secret of Stevia is revealed in 1931. Stevia contains a compound named ¡°stevioside.¡± Stevioside is 100-300 times sweeter than table sugar and without toxic side effects in laboratory animals.

Function: Stevia is reportedly suitable for diabetics as stevia does not impact blood sugar levels. Stevia can replace sugar in the diet and can be used as a flavour enhancer. Stevia helps bring out the true flavours in cereals, juices, berries, ice cream, candies, chewing gum, toothpaste and mouthwash in addition to its normal sweetening activity. Stevia can also be used topically as a mask ingredient.
