Features

• Stevia is heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. 
• Humans cannot metabolize the glycosides in stevia, and therefore it has zero calories. 
• Its taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, 
• at high concentrations some of its extracts may have an aftertaste described as licorice-like or bitter.
• Stevia is a sugar substitute made from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant of South America. 
• The leaves contain chemicals called steviol glycosides that have a highly concentrated sweet flavor.
