Stevia has zero calories, does not stick to the teeth and can also be eaten by diabetics.
It is a natural sweetener used against diabetes by the indigenous peoples of South America for several millennia. Here the sources.
The dehydrated leaves have a sweetening power up to 350 times compared to common sugar. In essence, 1 g of stevia is equivalent to 350 g of white sugar.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STEVIA REBAUDIOSIDE A AND STEVIOSIDE
Stevioside and Rebaudioside are the sweet components of Stevia.
If the plant is refined, a white powder or a clear liquid is obtained.
Stevioside is the first extraction and has a maximum purity of 90° with an aftertaste of licorice . Its sweetening power is 180 times that of sugar, i.e. 1 g of Stevioside is equivalent to 180 g of white sugar.
A second extraction from stevioside allows to obtain and isolate Stevia Rebaudioside A, also known as Rebaudiana.
Rebaudiana A is 97% pure, it has no licorice aftertaste and its sweetening power is 350 times that of sugar, i.e. 1 g of Rebaudioside is equivalent to 350 g of white sugar.
In addition to fruit compotes with Stevia, we also sell pure powdered stevia (for jams, desserts to be replaced wherever sugar is used) and liquid stevia with dispenser for hot drinks.
Pack of 5 bottles of 100ml for a total of 500ml equals 17.5kg of sugar
