Stevia (botanical name Stevia rebaudiana) is a species of plant native to Brazil and Paraguay. It contains a substance called steviose or steviol, which has many times greater sweetening power than sugar. It is used in several countries as an alternative sweetener to sugar.

The sweet taste of its leaves has been known for centuries by the indigenous people of South America, who use it as a natural sweetener. In recent years, the stevia plant and the sweeteners derived from its leaves have attracted attention due to the increased demand for foods low in sugar and calories. The leaves of the plant and the sweeteners derived from it are many times sweeter than sugar, do not provide energy (calories) and do not contain carbohydrates.

Stevia-derived sweeteners provide zero calories and can be an option for people who want to lose or maintain their weight . Studies have shown that low- or zero-calorie sweeteners can contribute to weight control by reducing the calorie content of the diet and maintaining the pleasure of the diet, helping people stick to their diet for longer.

Stevia sweeteners do not contain carbohydrates and do not affect blood glucose, so they can be consumed by people with diabetes. They also do not provide energy (calories) and can contribute to reducing or maintaining a normal weight, a very important parameter for controlling diabetes and its complications.
