Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a perennial herb belonging to the Asteraceae family and is native to South America. Its leaves contain natural sweet compounds called steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside), which are dozens of times sweeter than sugar but contain almost no calories. Because of its high sweetness and low caloric content, stevia is widely used as a natural sugar substitute in food, beverages, and health products. It also has certain medicinal properties, with studies suggesting potential benefits in blood sugar regulation and blood pressure reduction.
