Stevia 125 g

Stevia powder

The South American stevia shrub, which can survive in harsh conditions, is also known as ‘sweet herb’. Its leaves are much sweeter than ordinary sugar. Traditionally, it has been used in its native country (Paraguay) to sweeten bitter mate tea. It contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, chromium, cobalt, vegetable fats, fibre and protein. It also contains iron, selenium, silicon, sodium, thiamine, water, zinc, magnesium, manganese, niacin, phosphorus and potassium.

Stevia is a natural sweetener that contains no carbohydrates or calories. Various studies have shown that stevia has no adverse effects, even at doses significantly higher than usual. It does, however, offer us several benefits:

💚 It is a healthy alternative to sugar,
💚 it has a glycaemic index of 0, so stevia is also suitable for diabetics,
💚 it reduces cravings for sweet and fatty foods,
💚 because it contains no calories and makes you feel full more quickly, using it can help you lose a few extra kilograms.

Why is stevia a good substitute for sugar?

Stevia is made from the sweet leaves of the stevia plant, from which a sweet extract is prepared and used to sweeten food and drink. Stevia extracts are usually white or pale yellow in colour. The sweetness can vary, partly due to the different percentages of sweetener extracted from the stevia.

Our stevia, however, is simply dried and ground into a fine green powder. Its sweetness also depends on the variety and the time of harvest.

As it has a glycaemic index of 0 (meaning that blood glucose levels do not spike when consumed), it is also suitable for diabetics.

Unlike ordinary sugar, it does not caramelise or ferment into alcohol.
