Stevia

Stevia: One of the most beneficial plants on earth.

In all of its current forms, stevia has a taste unique to itself.
With all of its sweetness, there is a bitter taste when the leaf, extract
or stevioside powder is placed in the mouth. This bitter taste disappears,
as does the slight licorice flavor, when the product is appropriately diluted
in water or another liquid prior to use. The bitter taste comes from the leaf
veins. The majority of the veins must be removed during the cut-and-sift
process, or the delightfully sweet taste is overcome by a strong bitterness.

Stevia liquid may inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria and other infectious organisms, including those that are a problem for the food and cosmetic industries. Stevia may also inhibit the growth of the bacteria that cause gum disease and tooth decay, and in many countries it is used in oral-hygiene products.

Stevia is an excellent diabetic aid which nourishes the pancreas,
helping to achieve healthful blood sugar levels.

It is much sweeter than sugar and is primarily used as an alternative to sugar.

Stevia may also help individuals with diabetes, hypoglycemia,
nicotine cravings, weight loss and as a sugar substitute.

Stevia clear liquid is wonderful as a sweetener, contains
medicinal properties, is non-caloric, safe to cook with, and
disolves easily in cold beverages.
