Stevia Rebaudiana, dried leaves 50-500g and 1kg

Description

Stevia rebaudiana is a small seedling native to South America, especially Paraguay.

The indigenous Guarani populations have been using this plant for centuries to sweeten their food preparations and have given it the name "Ka'a He'e" which translated means " sweet herb ". It is no coincidence that stevia is used by the food industry for the production of very sweet sweeteners which do not contain calories.

Stevia is a plant we grow, it is grown naturally on our land in Fermo, in the open countryside. The cultivation of the plant is 100% natural, therefore no type of pesticide, herbicide or chemical fertilizer is used.

The leaves are harvested by hand during the spring and summer and then dried in special tunnens with controlled temperature and ventilation. This allows us not to exceed 43° and to keep the active ingredients and plant nutrients intact.

Finally the Stevia leaves are shredded and packaged.
