Organic Stevia Extract Powder 0.6oz (18g)

Groovy Bee® Organic Stevia Extract Powder 0.6oz (18g)

A member of the Asteraceae family, the Stevia rebaudiana plant is one of the sweetest plants to ever be discovered. For centuries, the natives of Brazil and Paraguay have harvested the sweet-tasting leaves of the stevia plant to enhance the flavor their local foods and beverages. These leaves contain eight glycosides, such as stevioside, steviolbioside, dulcoside A and rebaudiosides A, C, D, E, and F. These are the components that make stevia naturally sweet. The only downside is that raw stevia leaf extract is known to have a bitter aftertaste resembling licorice.

That’s why Groovy Bee® Organic Stevia Extract Powder has been gently processed with a natural enzyme to eliminate the traditional bitter notes of stevia, while also improving the overall flavor. Because it is much sweeter than regular table sugar, you only need to use a fraction of the amount you would normally use to achieve the same sweetness. Use it to enhance your favorite smoothies, shakes, baked goods, desserts and other recipes.

The perfect alternative to processed sugar, Groovy Bee® Organic Stevia Extract Powder is vegan, non-GMO and certified organic and Kosher. It contains no gluten or calories and is lab tested for glyphosate, heavy metals and microbiology.

Health benefits of stevia**

As one of the healthiest sugar alternatives, stevia provides a number of health benefits.

Supports healthy blood sugar levels – With a glycemic load of zero, stevia extract is the perfect sweetener for those looking to watch their blood sugar levels. A study that appeared in the Journal of Dietary Supplements suggested that stevia may be helpful in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels that are already within the normal range.

If you want to achieve your sensible weight management goals, then substituting sugar with stevia extract is definitely a step in the right direction, especially when this is accompanied by regular exercise and a well-balanced diet.

Supports healthy blood pressure levels – According to a study that appeared in the journal Clinical Therapeutics, the moderate consumption of stevia extract may help support healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.
