Now Foods Stevia Balance 100 Packets
Stevia rebaudiana is a small plant native to Paraguay and Brazil. It was
discovered in 1887 by a South American scientist named Antonio Bertoni who
learned of the herb from the Guarani Paraguayan Indians who used it to flavor
bitter tribal beverages.
Two French chemists named Bridel and Lavieille began to unravel the secret of
stevia in 1931 with explatory extraction work on Stevia rebaudiana leaves. Their
research yielded a pure, white, crystalline compound they named stevioside which
is responsible for stevia's flavorful properties.
Inulin is a fructooligosaccharide derived from chicory. As a prebiotic, it

health.* It has a low glycemic index making it suitable for persons on certain
types of restricted diets. Add it to your favorite food or beverage for a
delightfully sweet taste.
