It is extracted from the stevia plant and is used to give a sweet taste to foods and drinks. Dried stevia leaves contain many vital vitamins and minerals that are usually missing from artificial sweeteners.
Stevia is a plant with a strongly sweet taste that has been used to sweeten drinks and make tea since the 16th century. It is grown primarily in Brazil, Paraguay, Japan, and China.
Stevia is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- the natural sweetener tastes 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar;
- stevia can be classified as “zero calorie” because the calories in one serving are extremely low;
- offers a number of potential health benefits as a healthy alternative to sugar.

Dried stevia leaves have a natural sweetening power and contain valuable nutrients. The product is of premium quality and is distinguished by a high content (up to 16%) of steviol glycosides.
Stevia contains eight glycosides. These are the sweet components isolated and purified from the stevia leaves. These glycosides include:
- stevioside;
- rebaudiosides A, C, D, E and F;
- steviol bioside;
- dulcoside A.
Stevioside and rebaudioside A are the most common of these components.
Health benefits :
As an alternative to table sugar, using stevia as a sweetener has significant health benefits. It is low in calories and is recommended for people who suffer from diabetes or are trying to lose weight.
Studies show that stevia sweeteners do not add extra calories or carbohydrates to the diet, allowing people with diabetes to eat a wider variety of foods and more easily follow a healthy diet.
Studies have found that stevia does not increase blood sugar, insulin, or blood pressure. In addition, in people with type 2 diabetes, stevia consumption significantly reduced blood glucose and glucagon levels after meals. Glucagon is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and causes them to rise. The mechanism that releases glucagon is often compromised in people with diabetes.
Stevia can replace sugar in the diet, thereby improving body weight regulation. There are many causes of overweight and obesity, such as lack of physical activity and increased intake of foods high in fat and added sugars. Stevia contains minimal calories and can be part of a well-balanced diet.
Stevia contains many sterols and antioxidant compounds, including kaempferol. Studies have found that kaempferol may reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer by 23%.
Some glycosides in stevia extract dilate blood vessels and may promote the excretion of sodium through urine. The stevia plant has a cardiotonic effect and has the ability to regulate arterial blood pressure and heart rate.
