Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is approximately 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar and is often used as a sugar substitute in a variety of food and beverage products, including soft drinks, baked goods, and dairy products. Stevia is heat stable and can be used in cooking and baking. It is also non-caloric, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. In the food sector, Stevia is commonly found in low-calorie and sugar-free products, such as diet sodas and low-sugar snacks.
