Stevia Leaf & Flower, organic

Stevia is native to South America, where it grows as an evergreen shrub. In other temperate regions the plant can be grown as an annual or herbaceous perennial. It loves sunny conditions and rich soil. Stevia is a member of the Asteraceae family, and produces tiny clusters of white flowers usually in the fall.

The leaves of the stevia plant have been used for thousands of years by native tribes in South America, for medicinal purposes as well as to cut bitterness in cuisines, or other teas. Today Stevia is said to be beneficial for controlling blood sugar, as well as blood pressure. It also is known to hold many anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants
