What it is
Stevia glycosides are sweet compounds extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to South America. The extraction process involves purifying these compounds, which are hundreds of times sweeter than table sugar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use stevia glycosides as a non-caloric sweetener in a wide variety of food and beverage products. They are commonly found in diet drinks, yogurts, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners.
Health notes
In the U.S., highly purified stevia leaf extracts are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated stevia glycosides. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects. Some early studies raised concerns, but extensive research and regulatory reviews have generally supported their safety.
Allergen info
Stevia glycosides are derived from a plant and are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
