What is Stevia?

The World’s Best Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener

All the magic and goodness of nature fuse together in a miracle plant called Stevia. Scientifically known as Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni and part of the Chrysanthemum genus, stevia is a naturally occurring, non-toxic herbal sweetener with zero calories and absolutely no carbohydrates.

A Plant with Ancient Roots

Stevia has been used by ancient civilisations and indigenous communities across the globe for centuries. Known as ‘Ka’a He’e’ — meaning “Sweet Herb” in Guarani — it has been used by the tribal peoples of Paraguay and Brazil as a natural sweetener for generations. Historically, it was also known to help with ailments such as fever, headaches, asthma, and tooth decay.

What Makes Stevia Sweet?

The natural sweetness of stevia comes from two key compounds found in its leaves: Stevioside and Rebaudioside (RebA). These compounds make stevia approximately 300 times sweeter than sugar — yet with zero calories and zero glycaemic impact.
