In an era of increasing health awareness, the search for sweeteners that are both safe and health-friendly has become a key issue. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) , known as “stevia” in Thailand, has gained much attention as a natural sweetener that is calorie-free and does not affect blood sugar levels.
This herb is native to Paraguay and Brazil, where the indigenous Guarani people have used stevia leaves to sweeten beverages and herbal medicines for centuries. With its intense sweetness, which is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar, stevia has gained international recognition, including in Thailand, where it is used in both households and in the food industry.
