Steviva Brands stevia extract powder starts its life as an all-natural stevia leaf. When the stevia leaves are processed using a pure and natural water extract process, the result is a creamy white powder called steviosides or rebaudioside A. It is 250 to 300 times sweeter than sugar yet has no carbohydrates or calories and is safe for diabetics as well as persons who suffer from hypoglycemia.
Unlike most other brands, Steviva brand stevia extract has no additives whatsoever and is 100% natural in every sense of the word. In 2008, stevia was approved by the FDA for sale in the United States as a sweetener. Overseas, stevia controls more than 40% of the sweetener market and you will oftentimes find stevia on the kitchen or restaurant table just as you would sugar.
Steviva Brands uses no bleaching agents, alcohol or chemicals. This is demonstrated by the creamy white color of our stevia powder instead of having a bleached-out paper white appearance. Steviva Brands stevia is the only one with 95% steviosides (Steviol Glycosides), the least bitter high intensity sweet constituent of the stevia leaf. This unique process removes all of the undesirable byproducts of the leaf.
This is the base ingredient of all Steviva products. A little 1-oz bottle. Lasts a whole year for your coffee or tea.
Since the early 1990s, several of Azure’s vendors have been developing alternative natural sweeteners. Stevia is one of the most popular. However, while stevia is great if you just need a tiny dash of sweetness in your coffee, it’s hard to work with in baking.
Steviva combines stevia with other natural ingredients to develop alternative sweeteners that behave more like sugar when it comes to baking and cooking. There are three different ingredients that are the basis for their new products: erythritol, xylitol and monk fruit.
Monkfruit is the new kid on the block and is currently Steviva’s #1 selling product. But it’s not actually a fruit. It’s a nut from Asia that’s been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years. For MonkSweet Plus Steviva uses an extract from the sweetest part of the rind, which produces a very intense sweetener with a slightly fruity aftertaste.
Another natural ingredient is Erythritol, which has been used in Japan since 1990 in candies, chocolate, yogurt, fillings, jellies, jams and beverages. Erythritol is classified as a sugar alcohol, also called polyols, which occur naturally in many plants. In this case, fermented, non-GMO corn from France. Erythritol is unique among the sugar alcohols, and is easier on stomach than sorbitol.
Finally, Steviva introduces Xerosweet Plus with Xylitol, which is another sugar alcohol. The flavor profile of Xerosweet+ Stevia Fortified Xylitol is neutral enough for a variety of uses, yet it pairs especially well with mint or citrus flavors. Confections and gums, frozen desserts, puddings, jams and jellies are proven applications.
