What is Stevia?
Stevia rebaudiana, a plant native to Brazil and Paraguay in South America, has been consumed as a sweetener and sugar substitute for centuries by the indigenous tribes. Stevia has seen a meteoric rise in popularity in the last two decades. Hundreds of foods and beverages around the world use stevia as a zero-calorie alternative to sugar!
How to Use Health Garden Stevia
Stevia is recommended for use in beverages and liquids due to its ability to dissolve quickly and easily. Add stevia to your favorite hot drinks such as coffee, tea or hot chocolate, or use stevia in cold drinks like lemonade, cocktails and sparkling water. Stevia can also be added to smoothies, yogurts, homemade sauces, marinades, jams and salad dressings. Try it in a variety of foods until you discover what works for you!

Health Garden’s Stevia is Safe for Pets
We understand how important your pets are to you. While many common foods can be harmful to animals, stevia is not one of them. Although our stevia is not specifically intended for pet food and we don’t recommend adding it to your pet’s diet, recent studies show that it is non-toxic to dogs. In some cases, it may cause mild stomach upset. So, while our stevia is made for people, you can enjoy it with peace of mind—knowing it’s safe if accidentally consumed by your furry companions.
Why Do We Use Erythritol?
Stevia is blended with erythritol for two reasons:
Stevia in its natural form is too sweet for regular use, and it would be difficult to measure usable amounts of stevia. Blending erythritol with stevia enables it to have a simpler conversion rate. In addition, because erythritol is less sweet than sugar and stevia is sweeter than sugar, combining the two results in a product that hits just the right note of familiar sweetness!
Due to its molecular structure, stevia has a unique combination of flavors that interacts simultaneously with the sweet and bitter taste receptors on the tongue. Blending stevia with erythritol enables us to retain more of the sweet flavor, so the bitter flavor, which can be reminiscent of licorice, doesn't overpower the sweetness.
Zero Net Carbs
Erythritol contains 4 grams of carbs per tsp, but erythritol is a fiber. Fiber reduces the effect of carbs by slowing down the flow of sugar into the bloodstream and preventing sugar level spikes. Therefore, the 4 grams of erythritol completely cancels out the effect of the 4 grams of carbs it contains, resulting in zero net carbs and no sugar highs or lows!
