Our products are derived from stevia (stevia rebaudiana), a plant native to Paraguay. The leaves from the stevia plant have been safely used for hundreds of years in Paraguay and Brazil to naturally sweeten local teas, and as a“sweet treat”. There are several related substances that can be derived from the stevia plant, but the best tasting, purest and sweetest of all of them is Rebaudioside-A . It also boasts exceptional technical properties like heat and pH stability
