Stevia, a sweetener of natural origin, is extracted from the perennial plant of the same name, native to South America. The plant is known for its sweet leaves, which contain steviol glycosides that give it its characteristic sweet taste. Since December 2, 2011, extracts of this plant have been officially approved as a calorie-free sweetener in food products.
