What is Rebaudioside A?
Rebaudioside A is a purified form of stevia. It is 240 times sweeter than sugar. Unsurprisingly, it is used as a sweetening agent in various food products.
These sweeteners are derived by extracting steviol glycosides from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant. The plant is an herbal shrub native to areas in South America. The most common stevia sweetener is Rebaudioside A.
Stevia is a zero calorie sweetener and alternative ingredient to sugar. The additive is often used in beverages such as diet soft drinks, canned fruits, frozen desserts, cereals, and other processed foods.
