About Stevia

Stevia is an extraordinarily sweet herb, 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. It is calorie free, making it excellent for diabetics, people on low-glucose diets or those simply wanting to lose weight.

About Stevia?

Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener derived from the South American plant Stevia Rebaudiana. When the stevia leaves are processed, using only a natural water extraction process (never any petrochemicals or bleaches!), the result is a creamy white powder, called steviosides or rebaudiosides. The result of this clean extraction process is Steviva’s delicious SteviaSweet 100% pure stevia extract.  Because it is 200 to 300 times as sweet as sugar, a very minimal amount is required.

How is Stevia better for me?

In addition to being calorie free, stevia aids in digestion and does not feed yeast or microorganisms. Stevia also has no carbohydrates and is safe for diabetics and those with hypoglycemia. Stevia does not trigger a rise in blood sugar which results in a “sugar crash” (a spike of energy followed by fatigue). Instead, stevia’s energy increase is more gradual and longer lasting.

Is Stevia safe for my family?

Despite stevia’s sweetness, it does not cause cavities like sugar. Conversely, it helps PREVENT cavities, making it ideal for children (as well as adults). Stevia is a member of the chrysanthemum family, closely related to chamomile and tarragon, and distantly related to artichokes, lettuce, safflower oil and sunflower seeds. It is completely safe and has been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of South America, where it grows wild.

Why Switch?

Science consistently tells us that sugar and artificial sweeteners have negative effects on our health and well-being. Too much sugar creates elevated insulin levels in the body which, over time, can lead to diabetes and increased risk of cancer. Consumption of sugar and its artificial substitutes also promotes weight gain and heart disease.

Switching to all-natural sugar substitutes can help you avoid the hazards of sugar. Here’s why stevia is a sweet choice for a happy and healthy lifestyle:

A Little Goes a Long Way

The raw leaves of the stevia plant are approximately 40 times sweeter than sugar, and the powdered sweetener derived from them is up to 200–300 times sweeter. Just a small amount of one of our Steviva blends will suffice in most sugar-free recipes (stevia recipes)

Similar To Sugar

Similar in sweetness and granular consistency to sugar, Steviva’s all-natural blends, such as Steviva Blend or MonkSweet+ and SteviaSweet 100% pure stevia extract are terrific for clean-label cooking and baking. Make the same delicious treats you crave, with healthier results!
