What are steviol glycosides?
Steviol glycosides are the sweet-tasting components of the stevia plant ( Stevia rebaudiana ). These are natural sweeteners extracted from the plant's leaves. The best known examples are stevioside and rebaudioside A , the latter of which is valued for its particularly pleasant taste—without a bitter aftertaste.
Fun Fact : Steviol glycosides are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar , but contain zero calories .
