Natural Stevia Dried Leaves

Stevia is a plant leaf which is highly sweet in nature and does not increase the blood sugar level hence is used by many diabetic patients for sweetening their dishes. Use fresh stevia leaves as a sweetener in beverages, such as tea and lemonade, or in sauces. Add stevia leaves to beverages or foods as a sweet, edible garnish. Also, stevia imparts zero calories to the diet hence is also used by many people as a replacement for sugar. The stevia plant also contains fiber, protein, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. However, in the sweetener form, these additional elements are nearly negligible. The health benefits of stevia include its ability to aid in weight loss, lower blood pressure, reduce blood sugar, protect oral health, build strong bones, prevent certain forms of cancer, and help avoid cavities.
