Darsa Organics Stevia Leaves Powder is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia Rebaudiana plant. Stevia is a small perennial shrub native to South America and is known for its intensely sweet-tasting compounds called steviol glycosides. Stevia Leaf Powder is made by drying and crushing the leaves of the stevia plant into a fine powder, which can be used as a sweetening agent in various culinary applications. Stevia leaves have been used for centuries by indigenous populations in South America to sweeten foods and beverages. In recent years, Stevia has gained popularity as a calorie-free and low-carbohydrate alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
