About stevia
-- Given the growing global concerns about obesity and diabetes, beverage and food companies are working responsibly
to reduce sugar and calories in their products, responding to both consumers and health and wellness advocates.
Sweeteners from the stevia plant offer sugar-like taste and are becoming an increasingly important tool for these
companies.
-- Like sugar, stevia sweeteners are from plants. But unlike sugar, they enable low-calorie and zero-calorie
formulations of beverages and foods.
-- Stevia leaf extract is a natural-based, zero calorie, high-intensity sweetener, used by global food and beverage
companies as a great-tasting zero-calorie alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
-- Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to South America; today, it is grown around the world, notably in Kenya,
China and the US.
-- The sweet-tasting parts of the stevia leaf are up to 350 times sweeter than sugar: stevia's high-intensity
sweetness means it requires far less water and land than sugar.
-- Research has shown that the molecules of the stevia leaf are present and unchanged in the dried stevia leaf,
through the commercial extraction and purification process, and in the final stevia leaf extract product. All
major global regulatory organisations, across 65 countries, have approved the use of high-purity stevia leaf
extracts in food and beverages.
