Stevia Extract Powder Stevia is processed from the Stevia Rebaudiana bush - a herb in the Chrysanthemum family which grows wild as a small shrub in parts of Paraguay and Brazil. The glycosides in its leaves, including up to 10% Stevioside, account for its incredible sweetness, making it unique among the nearly 300 species of stevia plants. When the stevia leaves are processed using pure and natural water the result is a snow-white powder called stevioside. It is 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar and sweetens without raising blood sugar levels. It has no carbohydrates or calories and is safe for diabetics as well as persons who suffer from hypoglycemia. Unlike some other brands, this stevia extract has no additives whatsoever and is 100% natural in every sense of the word.
