Stevia Powder

Stevia powder is a natural sweetener made from the dried and ground leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to Paraguay and southern Brazil. Its use has become popular in cooking to sweeten food and beverages in a healthy way, as it provides no calories and has a sweetening power up to 300 times greater than common sugar.

This powder is ideal for those looking to reduce sugar consumption or control caloric intake without giving up a sweet taste. It is especially useful in recipes for baked goods, juices, infusions, and desserts, where a natural sweetener that does not affect the glycemic index is desired.

Main properties:

• It provides no calories or carbohydrates, making it suitable for diabetics and people on low-sugar diets.
• It is completely natural and safe for regular consumption.
• It does not alter the original flavor of preparations when used in the appropriate amount.

Synonyms and regional names in Latin America: stevia en polvo, extracto seco de stevia, edulcorante de stevia.
