About stevia

One plant, endless potential

Some plants are just sweet, while others are just savory, smoky, dark, rich, or any number of tastes. But stevia is different. This remarkable plant can provide all those flavors, and more!

Stevia is a healthy, plant-based, zero-calorie flavor modifier and sweetener sustainably grown and endlessly versatile. As a sweetener, stevia is 250-400 times sweeter than sugar. 

Stevia features compounds which enhance food and beverages by adding different types of sweetness, reducing bitterness, enhancing savory notes, and even improving texture. We’re constantly discovering new ways to use stevia to make foods and beverages tastier, healthier, and more sustainable.
