Stevia and its active compounds

Steviol glycosides (stevioside and rebaudioside A)

Steviol glycosides are the compounds responsible for the sweet taste of stevia. They are glycosylated diterpenes that activate sweet taste receptors without being metabolized by the body into glucose. Their glycemic index is zero and their caloric intake is negligible. Rebaudioside A is the glycoside with the best taste quality and the least bitterness. Concentrated preparations of rebaudioside A offer the best sensory profile.

Who is this stevia for?

• People wishing to reduce their caloric intake by eliminating sugar from their drinks and recipes
• People mindful of their blood sugar who want a zero GI sweetener (consult a doctor in case of treated diabetes)
• People on a low-calorie or keto diet
• Anyone wanting a natural organic alternative to synthetic sweeteners

How to use this stevia?

FAQ

Does stevia have an aftertaste?
Versions concentrated in stevioside can have a slightly bitter or licorice aftertaste. Versions concentrated in rebaudioside A (the higher quality glycoside) have a much more neutral and pleasant flavor profile. Check the composition to identify the dominant type of glycoside.

Can you cook with stevia?
Yes, stevia is heat stable up to 200 degrees. However, it does not provide volume, browning, or caramelization. In baking, it must be combined with a bulking agent (flour, starch) to compensate for the absence of sugar.

Is stevia safe for children?
Steviol glycosides are recognized as safe by EFSA for the general population, including children, within the limits of the acceptable daily intake. Use in reasonable quantities.
