Stevia Basics

How Stevia Is Made: From Leaf to Sweetener

Stevia sweeteners begin their journey as green leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. After harvesting, the leaves are dried and gently extracted with water to release steviol glycosides—the compounds responsible for sweetness.

The extraction process is similar to brewing tea, allowing the naturally sweet components to be separated from the plant material. This gentle method helps preserve quality and ensures food safety.

At our brand, purification levels are carefully controlled to deliver consistent taste profiles. Products such as Stevia Extract A60 and A80 are ideal for general sweetness, while higher-purity options like Stevia Extract A97 and Rebaudiosid M 95 are designed for advanced taste performance.

This controlled process ensures reliable sweetness and suitability for both consumer and industrial applications.

Natural vs Processed Stevia: What's the Difference?

Stevia is often described as a natural sweetener, but many consumers wonder what processing really means. Natural stevia originates from plant leaves, while processing refers to purification that removes unwanted flavors.

Lower-purity extracts may contain more plant compounds, leading to bitterness. Higher-purity extracts such as Stevia Extract A97, Rebaudiosid D 95, and Rebaudiosid M 95 provide a cleaner taste, making them suitable for premium beverages and reduced-sugar foods.

Processing does not make stevia artificial—it enhances consistency, safety, and taste.

Is Stevia Safe? What Global Health Authorities Say

Highly purified steviol glycosides have been evaluated by global food safety authorities. Scientific assessments have established acceptable daily intake levels, supporting stevia's safety when used as intended.

Stevia is recognized as safe by:

• EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) in the European Union
• FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the United States
• WHO (World Health Organization) and JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives)

Our stevia portfolio—including A60, A80, A97, Rebaudiosid M 95, and Rebaudiosid D 95—meets international quality and purity standards. These products are designed for manufacturers and consumers seeking reliable sugar reduction solutions.

Safety is achieved through rigorous testing, controlled sourcing, and transparent production processes.
