What is Stevia Leaf Extract?

Stevia Leaf Extract Powder is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, which is native to South America. The primary compounds responsible for its sweet taste are steviol glycosides, such as stevioside and rebaudioside A, which are significantly sweeter than sugar—approximately 200 to 400 times sweeter.

This extract is often used as an alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners in a variety of food and beverage products, including baked goods, soft drinks, and dietary supplements. It is available in the form of a white powder and can be found in health food stores and supermarkets, typically in the baking or health food aisles.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved highly purified steviol glycosides, the active components in stevia, for use as a sweetener in food products. Stevia leaf extract is considered safe for human consumption and is allowed in the food supply. It is also recognized as a safe ingredient by other global regulatory bodies.
