Stevia? Is that a rock star...

Okey here commes the funniest question from a stranger and absolutely a stranger to Stevia. ¨Is that a rock star?¨

No, Stevia or sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf. It's a herb or shrub in the sunflower family. The leaves can be eaten fresh or put in water and make tea of them. Is widely grown for its leaves in tropical Central America and South America. As a sweatener and sugar substitute, Stevias taste has a slower onset and longer duration than sugar. Some of it's extract have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at a high concentration.

It's 300 times sweater then Sugar.

Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Also it's used as a sweetener in yerba mate and medicinal teas for treating heartburn and other ailments. It is also attractive for diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.

This natural plant is used as a sweatener and comes as powder, or as a liquid. It's zero calories and 100& natural.

Rebiana is a trade name for a zero-calorie sweetener containing mainly the steviol glycoside which is extracted from stevia.

Use the liquid in cooking, dressings, baking or in tea or coffee. The powder in baking and tea and coffee as well. It's a special taste and verry sweat. I like it and even more when it's a good sweatener.
