Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a natural and healthy alternative sweetener to sugar and artificial sweeteners, which has become important for human diets and food manufactures.
Herbal sweeteners such as stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) are known as natural alternatives to artificial sweeteners, especially in management of insulin sensitivity and type 2 diabetes.
