stevia sweetenerA Sweet History.
For centuries, indigenous people of South America used Stevia (they called it Kaa Hee, which translates to “sweet herb”) for its sweetness and medicinal properties. The wide-spread use of the sweet plant was noted by Spanish Conquistadors in the sixteenth century. It was later introduced to European settlers who used the stevia extract to sweeten their teas, foods and drinks.

Naturally Sweet

For hundreds of years since, South American natives have been refining and consuming Stevia extract for its naturally sweet qualities and nutritional benefits. While Stevia was more primitively used as an herb to sweeten a hot brew, today Stevia is sweetening the lives of families from all around the globe.

On December 18, 2008 the Food and Drug Administration declared stevia as safe for use in foods and beverages. The FDA has no objections to the use of a highly purified form of stevia as a general purpose sweetener in foods and beverages.
