Product Description

Stevia is a plant that comes from South America. It has many medicinal purposes, however, it is best known for its use as a sweetener without the calories.

Stevia is becoming popular as an alternative to artificial sweeteners and sugars. For those who have blood sugar related issues or weight issues, sugar is a great substitute. Should a sweetener need to be used, Stevia may be a good option as it is the least processed, is non toxic to the body and has a high density of sweetness.

A little goes a long way when it comes to Stevia as it is estimated to be 200 – 300 times sweeter than sweeter than sugar. Stevia is not as bulky as sugar; however it is possible to cook with Stevia. It is important to get the measurements correct when using Stevia as an alternative to sugar.
