Keep reading to learn more or go check out our Stevia product options.

What Is Stevia?

Stevia is a plant native to South America. It doesn’t look like it, but it’s actually a member of the sunflower family. The sugar substitute we know is made from the leaves. Also known as candy leaf or sweet leaf, Stevia is about 300x sweeter than regular table sugar. Stevia has been around as a sweetener for teas and treats in its native area for a long time, but it’s become popular around the world in recent years as personal health awareness has increased.

Why Is Stevia Healthy?

Stevia is one of the healthiest sugar replacements. Stevia is an actual plant, so it’s 100% naturally derived, without any artificial additives. It’s also completely calorie and carbohydrate free. Basically, it’s the perfect sweet ingredient. Many people with diabetes choose Stevia as a sweetener because it’s a lot safer for them to use. 

Here at Gillco, we are proud to partner with Cargill’s Stevia Leaf Extract to make this amazing sweetener more available to everyone!
