Stevia is an herb and medicinal plant originally native to South America, known for its sweet leaves. Its intense sweetening effect has been known there for centuries. Steviol glycosides, extracted from stevia leaves, can be used as a sweetener in certain foods. These plant-derived steviol glycosides have a much stronger sweetening effect than sugar and essentially contain no calories.
