Stevia Powder Extract Information and Usage

Stevia is an herb that is used for its sweetness. Stevia powder extract by Nature's Sunshine comes in easy to use packets that are used just like sugar. There is no bitter taste left in the mouth unlike many sugar substitutes. Compounds called glycosides are what gives stevia its sweet flavor. The best thing about this herb is that it registers zero on the glycemic index. If you've never tried stevia in place of sugar before, you may not believe that it is just as good.

However, laboratory tests have revealed that stevioside is approximately 300 times sweeter than sucrose. You can add stevia to any food or drink that you would normally add sugar to. Herbalists often recommend stevia for individuals trying to lose weight because it is low in calories. Stevia may also support healthy blood sugar levels and provide some level of cardiovascular protection. A serving size of stevia is approximately 1/4 teaspoon, added to foods and beverages as desired.
