Vigorbuddy | How Sweet is Stevia? | Stevia is a leafy green plant native to the Amambay region in the northeast of Paraguay, but can also be found in other parts of South America. Indigenous populations in Paraguay and Brazil originally used the plant species Stevia rebaudiana as a natural sweetener, calling it the “sweet herb”.
Stevia derives its sweet taste from over 40 natural compounds known as stevial glycosides. Most stevia sold in stores and used in consumer products use purified stevia leaf extracts that contain one or more stevial glycosides. The most common of these glycosides is rebaudioside A, rebaudioside D, and stevioside.
So Exactly How Sweet Is Stevia?
Stevia leaf extracts can be up to 250 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar (sucrose) in the same quantity. Rightfully so, stevia is considered to be a high-intensity sweetener. Stevia leaf extracts are similar in sweetness intensity to many artificial sweeteners on the market but stand out as being an entirely organic alternative.
Purified stevia leaf extracts can exhibit different taste profiles depending on the steviol glycoside(s) that are present. Some, such as rebaudioside D have a clean sugar-like taste while others such as stevioside have a flavor profile that is described as being bitter or metallic.
Whole leaf stevia extracts, which contain a full array of steviol glycosides, are usually a poor substitute for table sugar. Often, other ingredients such as erythritol, dextrose, or maltodextrin are used to alleviate the intense sweetness of stevia leaf extract. With the high-intensity sweetness of stevia leaf extracts, a little bit goes a long way.
