Our certified organic stevia extract powder is a highly refined, water-based extract derived from organically grown Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni leaves. Standardized to ≥95% Rebaudioside A (Reb A), it delivers intense sweetness (200–300× sucrose) with minimal licorice-like aftertaste—making it one of the cleanest-tasting natural high-intensity sweeteners available.
Produced without synthetic solvents, irradiation, or GMOs, our organic stevia meets global standards for clean-label, zero-calorie, and diabetic-friendly formulations.
Note: Unlike crude stevia leaf powder, this is a purified extract compliant with FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food, and Codex Alimentarius specifications.
What Is Organic Stevia Extract?
Stevia extract contains steviol glycosides—naturally occurring compounds in stevia leaves. Rebaudioside A (Reb A) is the most desirable due to its superior taste profile. Our extraction uses only food-grade water and ethanol (removed during drying), followed by crystallization and spray-drying to yield a free-flowing, off-white powder.
The final product is:
- Zero calories (not metabolized for energy)
- Non-glycemic (does not affect blood glucose or insulin)
- Heat-stable (stable up to 200°C / 392°F)
- pH-stable (functional from pH 3–9)
Key Functional & Health Benefits
- Natural Sugar Replacement: Enables “no added sugar” and “zero calorie” claims
- Diabetic-Friendly: Glycemic index = 0
- Dental Health: Non-cariogenic (does not promote tooth decay)
- Clean Taste Profile: High Reb A minimizes bitterness and metallic notes
- Synergy with Other Sweeteners: Pairs well with erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose
- Sustainability: Low water and land footprint vs. cane sugar
Usage Tip: Typical use level is 0.01–0.1% in finished products. Always pre-blend with carrier (e.g., maltodextrin or erythritol) for even distribution.
