Natusweet - Stewia czysty ekstrakt 97%, 20g

Not all stevia are created equal - popular stevia sweeteners in powder or tablet form often contain only a small amount of stevia extract (usually about 2%), and most of the sweetener is made up of bulking agents, often high in calories and unsuitable for diabetics, such as maltodextrin, sodium bicarbonate or citric acid.

A well-dried stevia leaf is 15 to 20 times sweeter than sugar; the sweetness of stevia leaves comes from as many as eight different substances, so-called steviol glycosides, which differ in sweetness.

Types of steviol glycosides:

• Rebaudioside A – up to 480 times sweeter than sugar
• Stevioside – up to 300 times sweeter than sugar
• Rebaudioside B – up to 350 times sweeter than sugar
• Rebaudioside C – up to 120 times sweeter than sugar
• Rebaudioside D – up to 370 times sweeter than sugar
• Rebaudioside E – up to 300 times sweeter than sugar
• Dulcoside A – up to 120 times sweeter than sugar
• Steviolbioside – up to 125 times sweeter than sugar

Natusweet stevia extract is a combination of sweet substances: steviol glycosides (60%) and stevioside (40%), which guarantees the best flavor. Rebaudioside A accounts for 97% of the 60% steviol glycoside content, making this pure sweetener, free of any additives or fillers, offer unprecedented sweetness. A 20g pack has the sweetness equivalent of over 2.5kg of sugar!

Rebaudiosides A are the most valuable component of stevia leaves – they are the sweetest of all glycosides and the rarest – dried leaves contain only 4%. Used in popular stevia sweeteners, steviosides have a bitter, licorice-like aftertaste, and dried leaves contain as much as 13%. Additionally, rebaudiosides dissolve in water six times better than other glycosides – making them ideal for use in dishes.

Dosage: 100mg maximum. This is enough to sweeten even a very large portion, such as an entire baking sheet. Pure stevia extract should be used in amounts less than a pinch, less than you would use salt – it is very, very sweet and easily oversweetened.
