Stevia leaf powder is made from finely ground dried stevia leaves. It is a concentrated natural sweetener that contains steviol glycosides, primarily stevioside and rebaudioside, which are responsible for the plant’s intensely sweet taste. Stevia leaf powder is an excellent sugar alternative, offering a sweet taste without the calories, making it popular among those following low-calorie, low-carb, or diabetic diets. It is also an option for those seeking a more natural way to sweeten foods and drinks.

The powder is many times sweeter than sugar, so only a small amount is needed for the desired sweetness. Unlike artificial sweeteners, stevia is plant-based and has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

USES

• As a Sweetener in Beverages: Add stevia leaf powder to water, tea, coffee, or smoothies for a sugar-free sweetening alternative. A small amount will be enough to sweeten large quantities.
