Stevia Power x3 (for beverages) loose 50gr

Stevia (botanical name Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant species originating from Brazil and Paraguay. It contains a substance called stevioside or steviol glycoside which has many times the sweetening power of sugar. It is used in several countries as an alternative sweetening substance 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 the increased demand for low-sugar and low-calorie foods. The leaves of the plant 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 yield 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 contribute to weight control by reducing the caloric content of the diet and maintaining pleasure in the diet, helping people stay faithful to their diet for longer periods of time. Stevia sweeteners do not contain carbohydrates and do not affect blood glucose, so they can be consumed by people with diabetes. They also do not provide energy (calories) and can contribute to weight reduction or maintenance, a very important parameter for controlling diabetes and its complications.
