Stevia Herbal SweetenerJaskam & Company Limited is a Kenyan research-based distributer and supplier of Stevia herbal sweetener that bears no bitter after-taste at all. It is the sweetener of the future. The species Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, commonly known as sweet leaf or sugar leaf is widely grown for its sweet leaves. The leaves of the plant have 30–45 times the sweetness of ordinary table sugar. The reason for this level of sweetness is because the leaves contain several chemicals called glycosides, which taste sweet, but do not provide calories. Research has shown that a whole leaf concentrate has a regulating effect on the pancreas and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Today, China is the world's largest exporter of stevioside. Processed forms of pure stevioside can be 70-400 times sweeter than sugar.
It has been used for centuries, the Guaraní tribes of Paraguay and Brazil used sweet herb as a sweetener and medicinal teas for treating heartburn and other ailments. Historians noted that indigenous peoples had been sweetening herbal teas with stevioside leaves "since ancient times." In due course, it was introduced to settlers. By the 1800s, daily consumption had become well entrenched throughout the region -- not just in Paraguay, but also in neighboring Brazil and Argentina. Stevioside is cultivated and used in food elsewhere in east Asia, including in China (since 1984), Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia. It can also be found in Saint Kitts and Nevis, in parts of South America (Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and in Israel. China is the world's largest exporter of stevioside. It can be used in different forms i.e. the leaves can be boiled directly in order to attain the sweet taste or it can be processed into a powder or liquid.
