A quick note on stevia
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). From the leaves of the plant steviol glycosides are obtained, which are 200 to 300 sweeter than sugar. Stevia’s sweetness makes it a great sugar substitute of natural origin. Stevia leaves may be sweet enough, however they do not provide any calories as their glycosides cannot be absorbed by the human body. Nowadays, health and food safety organizations (EFSA, FDA), recognize stevia as safe for consumption.
