Stevia Dry Leaves - 50 Gms

Description

Stevia dry leaves are a natural sweetener, with no known side effects for most people, unlike popular artificial sweeteners based on aspartame and sucralose. Stevia leaves are packed with super-sweet compounds that remain stable even after the leaves have been dried. Stevia leaves have been used to sweeten teas and beverages throughout South America for centuries.

These are unprocessed, naturally and hygienically dried stevia leaves — a natural substitute for sugar and artificial sweeteners, and a suitable option for diabetics and those managing their weight.

Benefits

Stevia has become very popular recently — diabetics and dieters alike have turned to stevia to reduce their sugar intake because, unlike honey, maple syrup, or agave, this natural sweetener has zero calories and is not metabolized by the body. Stevia is especially well-suited to sweetening drinks, fruits, salad dressings, yogurt, and most creamy desserts, and can substitute for many foods or drinks.

Some research suggests stevia sweeteners do not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet and may not significantly affect blood glucose or insulin response, which may allow people with diabetes to enjoy a wider variety of foods as part of a healthful meal plan, in consultation with their doctor. Some studies suggest stevia may help support healthy post-meal glucose and insulin levels in diabetic patients.

Why Not to Take White Stevia Powders or Tablets

Some processed stevia products go through an extensive refining process to extract the sweet compound, stevioside, and remove the natural aftertaste. Because stevia leaves and their cell walls are resilient and resistant to standard extraction methods like boiling or centrifuging, some manufacturers use additional processing steps to concentrate the extract. We recommend choosing natural, minimally processed stevia leaf products like this one over heavily processed alternatives.
