What it is

Steviol glycosides are sweet compounds extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to South America. They are purified and processed to create a high-intensity sweetener.

Why it's used

These compounds are used as a non-nutritive sweetener, meaning they provide sweetness without adding calories. They are found in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including diet drinks, yogurts, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners.

Health notes

In the U.S., steviol glycosides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated steviol glycosides and established acceptable daily intake levels. Research indicates they do not significantly impact blood sugar levels, making them a popular choice for individuals managing their sugar intake.

Allergen info

Steviol glycosides are derived from a plant and are not one of the FDA's major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
