What is Stevia?

Stevia is the common name for stevia rebaudiana, an herb used as a replacement for sugar or other non-nutritionative sweeteners. The resulting extract from the Stevia plant is roughly ten times sweeter than sugar.  As of December 2009 the FDA approved Stevia for use in foods and beverages so this product which used to be found only in the food supplement isle may now be used in everything from chewing gum to potato chips.Learn more about Stevia >>
