Stevia is Botanically known as Stevia rebaudiana, It is a natural sweetener and sugar substitute (steviol glycosides) derived from the leaves of the plant. It is approximately 30 to 150 times sweeter than sugar. The human body does not metabolize the glycosides in stevia, so it contains zero calories, like artificial sweeteners. Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar.
The legal status of stevia as a food additive or dietary supplement varies from country to country. The leaves have been used traditionally for hundreds of years in both Brazil and Paraguay to sweeten local teas and medicines, and as a "sweet treat". Consequently, the use of stevia as an alternative began in Japan, with the aqueous extract of the leaves yielding purified steviosides developed as sweeteners. The Japanese have been using stevia in food products and soft drinks, (including Coca-Cola), and for table use. In the mid-1980s, stevia became popular in U.S. natural foods & health food industries, as a noncaloric natural sweetener for teas and weight-loss blends.
