Stevia Liquid (Natural Sweetener 2 oz)

Stevia is a type of herb that has a sweet taste, and it is a healthy substitute for sugar because it’s completely natural. It was first used centuries ago in Paraguay, and later, in other parts of the world as well. Also known as sugarleaf or sweet leaf, its extract is commonly used as an alternative to sugar. As demand for low-calorie and low-carbohydrate food increases, it has become a more popular option among food-manufacturers as well as health-conscious individuals. Most people may think that stevia can be used only in tea or coffee, but this is a misconception. The good news for sweet lovers who want to control diabetes or weight is that stevia can be cooked. Therefore, it can be used in a wide variety of foods, including cake, pastries and all sweets that need to be baked or cooked. For people who are suffering from diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disorders and high cholesterol, stevia is a great option. Whether it’s used as a dietary supplement or a sugar substitute, this wonder herb can be very beneficial to your body. It’s also rich in nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, proteins, vitamins, magnesium, zinc, sodium and other minerals that are needed by the human body. By replacing sugar with stevia, you can also control your sugar intake.
