Botanical Name: Stevia rebaudiana

Overview: More than just a calorie-free sugar substitute, the active component in the leaf, stevioside, has been shown to markedly lower blood sugar levels, suggesting a possible therapeutic use for people with diabetes.
Uses: The dried leaf may be added to teas and herbal preparations.
Origin: Paraguay
