Stevia Leaf Powder | |||||||||
Stevia Green Leaf PowderStevia has been used by South American tribes for centuries as a sweetener to their traditional bitter tasting matte tea and other dishes. Being about 300 times sweeter than sugar, a little goes a long way. Even with all that sweetness Stevia does not have a GI (Glycemic Index) because the leaves contain glycosides which the human tongue registers as tasting sweet rather than sugar. Stevia also contains no calories and has been shown to aid the pancreas and improve digestion. An excellent choice for diabetics, those with sugar intolerances, those seeking weight control, or who simply want to avoid cavities. Add it to teas, smoothies, desserts, yogurt, or anything else your sweet tooth desires. The genus Stevia encompasses about 240 varieties of the sweet leafed plant; we carry the stevia rebandiana variety. Click image to enlarge
