Srevia Extracts-a new trend
21 Apr 2023Stevia is a plant-derived, non-nutritive sweetener containing zero calories or sugar. Stevia comes from the plant stevia rebaudiana, which is native to Brazil and Paraguay. One of the key factors to glean from the stevia plant is that it contains multiple incredibly sweet compounds known as glycosides. An extraction process is used in order to remove these compounds from the stevia leaves.
Why Is Stevia Better Than Other Sugar Alternatives?
There is overwhelming information online about sugar alternatives’ pros and cons. An essential factor to remember is that stevia is plant-based and not created in a lab. Monk fruit and stevia are the two sweeteners the FDA has granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. Globally, stevia is also highly regarded as a safe sugar alternative. In Japan, where all artificial sweeteners were banned almost 50 years ago, stevia is available on the market.
Using Stevia in Baking & Cooking
If you are trying to slim down, a great way to help this process is to substitute stevia for sugar in recipes. The plant compounds in stevia are heat-stable, meaning they are not changed or destroyed when subjected to high temperatures. As opposed to artificial sweeteners, stevia is excellent to use while baking due to this stability. Manufacturers make it easy for consumers by placing recipes on their packaging, and there is also a conversion chart available online at stevia.com. Switching from sugar to stevia allows you to lose weight without giving up some of your favorite baked goods and sweet treats.
