Stevia is a sugar substitute obtained from Stevia rebaudiana leaves, which belongs to the chrysanthemum family, and also falls in a subclass of the ragweed family. The active compounds in stevia include steviol glycosides, which contain mainly rebaudioside or stevioside. Steviol glycosides are pH-stable, heat-stable, and cannot be fermented. Steviol glycosides are between 30 and 150 times sweeter than sugar. The body enzymes cannot metabolize glycosides present in the stevia. As a result, it has zero calories. Its onset taste is slower than the onset taste of sugar. However, its taste lasts for long that of sugar.
