Product type
Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It contains compounds called steviol glycosides, which provide sweetness without the calories associated with sugar. Stevia is often used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products due to its intense sweetness and minimal impact on blood sugar levels.

Additionally, buyers should inquire about any certifications, such as organic or non-GMO, and consider the quantity needed for their production needs.
