Organic Stevia leaves cut 100g

Stevia, also known as sweet herb or honey herb, originally comes from South America. The plant, especially its leaves, is known for its intense sweetening power. Steviol glycosides, the natural sweeteners in the leaves, are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and completely calorie-free. These properties make stevia a popular alternative for anyone who wants to consciously avoid sugar.

The cut Stevia leaves come from controlled organic cultivation and are carefully harvested. They are then carefully dried and cut into small pieces to preserve the natural ingredients and full aroma.
Thanks to the raw food quality processing, the valuable steviol glycosides and the original properties of the plant are fully preserved. The leaves contain no additives or artificial sweeteners.

Why does stevia have no calories even though it contains sugar molecules?

Steviol glycosides are natural compounds from the leaves of the stevia plant that provide its intense sweetness. In steviol glycosides, the sugar molecules are firmly bound to the steviol backbone. The human digestive tract cannot completely break these special bonds so that the sugar molecules cannot be released and used for energy production. Instead, most of the steviol is excreted after digestion.

Uses: Stevia leaves are versatile and are ideal as a natural sweetener for numerous dishes and drinks:

• Tea and drinks: a few Stevia leaves can be infused directly with hot water for a natural sweetness.
• Smoothies: The leaves can be blended to sweeten smoothies without adding sugar.
• Cooking and baking: The leaves can be cooked with other ingredients when cooking or baking to sweeten dishes naturally.
