Pure 70:1 Stevia Stevia rebaudiana Extract
Stevia extract powder- is a naturally sourced, zero-calorie sweetener that has been used as a natural sugar substitute and flavoring ingredient. The stevia plant is native to South America and was first consumed there over 200 years ago when the indigenous people used leaves of the plant to sweeten beverages or chewed them for their sweet taste. The plant leaves, often called “sweet herb,” were dried and used to sweeten teas and medicines or simply chewed as a sweet treat.
The stevia extract powder plant was first scientifically recorded in 1899 as Eupatorium rebaudianum by Moises Santiago de Bertoni, in Paraguay. In 1905, it was later defined as Stevia rebaudiana, a member of the sunflower (Asteraceae) family.
Stevia standardized powder, as a plant extract, was first commercially adopted as a sweetener by Japan in the 1970s. Stevia is cultivated mostly in Paraguay, Kenya, China, and the United States and within many other parts of the world, including Vietnam, Brazil, India, Argentina, and Colombia.
The leaves of S. rebaudiana contain more than 30 different steviol glycosides, among which stevioside and rebaudioside A are present in the highest levels. Stevioside and rebaudioside A are also the main sweet components of Stevia and in the refined form are 150-300 and 250-450 times sweeter than sucrose, respectively. Processed forms of Stevia leaves are generally 250-300 times sweeter than sugar-stevia standardized powder.
