Stevia is a plant-derived sweetener, now widely available and rapidly replacing artificial sweeteners in consumer products. Thirty times sweeter than sugar and with no effect on blood sugar and little aftertaste, Stevia is used as a non-nutritive sweetener and herbal supplement. Stevia extract comes from Stevia rebaudiana, a plant native to Brazil and Paraguay, but is now also grown in Japan and China.
