Stevia flowers. The leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana are used as a natural sweetener and sugar substitute. The products prepared from this plant are 300 times sweeter than sugar but have little effect on blood glucose levels. It is used as a natural sweetener for people on a carbohydrate-controlled diet. Native to Paraguay and Brazil,this plant is part of an attempt to cultivate the plant on an industrial scale in France.
