This natural extract is non-fermentable, pH-stable, and heat-stable. This means that it can be added to a broad range of foods, supplements and drinks without affecting their compositions.

Stevia is non-nutritious but has 50 to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, with almost none of the calories. In fact, the calorie level of stevia is so low that it’s generally considered a zero-calorie sweetener.
