For sweets and bakery products

Stevia (botanical name Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant species originating from Brazil and Paraguay. It contains a substance called steviol glycoside or steviol which has a much sweeter taste than sugar. It is used in several countries as an alternative sweetener to sugar. The sweet taste of its leaves has been known for centuries to the indigenous peoples of North America who use it as a natural sweetener. In recent years, the stevia plant and the sweeteners derived from its leaves have attracted attention due to increased demand for low-sugar and low-calorie foods. The plant's leaves and the sweeteners derived from it have multiple times the sweetness of sugar, do not provide energy (calories), and do not contain carbohydrates.

Sweeteners derived from stevia provide zero calories and can be an option for people who want to reduce or maintain their weight. Studies have shown that sweeteners with few or zero calories can help control weight by reducing the caloric content of the diet and maintaining dietary satisfaction, helping people stay faithful to their diet for longer periods. Stevia sweeteners do not contain carbohydrates and do not affect blood glucose, so they can be consumed by people with diabetes. Also, they do not provide energy (calories) and can contribute to weight loss or maintenance, a very important parameter for the control of diabetes and its complications.
