Stevia Organic

Botanical Extract

Botanical name: Stevia rebaudiana.

Description: Stevia Extract Powder is a natural sweetener and sugar substitute in white powder form. Organic stevia extract is derived from the organic dry leaf of Stevia rebaudiana. The 97% notation of this stevia extract refers to the minimum percent of Steviosides occurring, which is a measure of its sweetness. The higher the concentration of Rebaudioside A (Reb a) in a stevia powder or liquid, the sweeter it is.

Common Uses: Stevia extract powder is used widely throughout the food and beverage industry, as well as in personal care products. Food and beverage scientists across the globe often replace regular sugar in formulations with natural ingredients such as stevia powder to decrease the level of sugar and overall calories in their commerical products. Many sugar-free gum brands use stevia powder as an ingredient instead of sugar to deliver the desired level of sweetness consumers enjoy. In the personal care industry, companies use stevia in products such as toothpaste, mouthwash and cough drops.
