The stevia plant is a shrub-like plant with purple or white flowers found primarily in Paraguay, where it has been used for centuries as a natural sweetener. Extract from the leaves of the stevia plant is used as a calorie-free sweetener.
Stevia leaves produce a sweet, calorie-free substance called glycoside stevioside, which is a zero-calorie sweetener.
Stevia is a sugar substitute derived from the leaves of the stevia plant that is significantly sweeter than sugar but contains no calories, which has made it ideal for low-carb diets and those watching their sugar intake.

Stevia rebaudiana is a member of the Compositae, native to Paraguay. It produces a number of high-potency low-calorie sweeteners in its leaf tissue. The plant was used extensively by the Guarani people for more than 1,500 years, and the plant has a long history of medicinal use in Paraguay and Brazil.[15] The leaves have been traditionally used for hundreds of years in Paraguay and Brazil to sweeten local teas, medicines and as a "sweet treat".
Steviol is the basic building block of stevia's sweet glycosides.
To produce rebaudioside A commercially, stevia plants are dried and subjected to a water extraction process. This crude extract contains about 50% rebaudioside A; its various glycoside molecules are separated via crystallization techniques,
