Used for countless generations by the people of South America as a non calorific sweetener, Stevia is a safe, natural, organic substitute to sugar that has none of the typical side effects associated with many other sugar substitutes.

Stevia has also been scientifically proven to have many other beneficial qualities.

• Contains Stevioside – hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose whilst containing no sugar
• Has a superior quality sweetness to sugar
• Hypoglycemic – proven to regulate blood sugar levels
• Hypertensive – helps lower blood pressure
• Safe for diabetics
• Non toxic – non addictive – safe for children
• Zero calories
• Has antibacterial properties and does not promote tooth decay
• Heat Stable – remains stable at very high temperatures

Due to it’s amazing qualities, Stevia is used in a wide variety of manufacturing processes including use in the production of soft drinks, ice cream, bread, sweeteners, confectionery, yogurt, seafood, meat, pickles, seasonings, sugar free gum and countless others.

In Japan, the benefits of using Stevia as a healthy substitute for sucrose have been recognised for many years. It’s popularity has grown rapidly and it is widely used in industry and commerce across thousands of products and also in many other countries.

Although strict Japanese food regulations have led to a ban being placed on most other sugar alternatives due to their carcinogenic nature, Stevia’s unique properties means it remains Japan’s No. 1 sugar substitute and an ever more popular choice for the world’s safety and health conscious nations.
