What is Stevia?

Stevia Rebaudiana is a herb in the Chrysanthemum family, which grows wild as a small shrub in parts of Paraguay and Brazil. The glycosides in its leaves, including up to 10% Stevioside, account for its incredible sweetness, making it unique among the nearly 300 species of Stevia plants.

There are indications that Stevia (or Ca-he-he) has been used to sweeten a native beverage called mateí since Pre-Columbian times. However, a Natural Scientist name Antonio Bertoni first recorded its usage by native tribes in 1887.

Can I use Stevia if I am diabetic ?

Diabetes is a medical condition, which should be monitored and treated by a qualified physician or health care practitioner. However, Stevia can be a part of a healthy diet for anyone with blood sugar problems since it does not raise blood sugar levels.

Can Stevia replace sugar in YOUR diet ?

Yes. Refined sugar is virtually devoid of nutritional benefits and, at best, represents empty calories in the diet. At worst, it has been implicated in numerous degenerative diseases. Stevia is much sweeter than sugar and has none of sugar’s unhealthy drawbacks.

Can Stevia be used in cooking and baking ?

Absolutely! Industrial research in Japan has shown that Stevia and Stevioside extracts are extremely heat stable in a variety of everyday cooking and baking situations.

How many calories are in Stevia ?

Virtually none. The refined Stevia extract is considered to have Zero Calories, Zero Carbohydrates, Zero Sugar, Zero Fat and Zero Cholesterol.

What can't I do with Stevia ?

Stevia does not caramelize as sugar does. Meringues may also be difficult since Stevia does not brown or crystalize as sugar does.

Where can I buy Stevia herbal powder and extract ?

At your local natural food store. As Stevia gains consumer acceptance, it may also begin to appear in supermarkets and grocery stores, but probably only in it’s refined form.

Will Stevia raise my blood sugar levels?

Not at all. In fact, according to some recent research, it may actually reduce blood sugar levels in people with high blood sugar (hyperglycemics, diabetics).
