Stevia rebaudiana is a perennial plant native to Brazil and Paraguay, widely cultivated around the world for its sweet leaves, that can be used as a sweetener and sugar substitute. The active compounds of stevia are steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside), which have up to 150-300 times the sweetness of sugar, are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. These steviosides have a negligible effect on blood glucose, which makes stevia attractive to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, and some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations. The legal status of stevia extracts as food additives and supplements varies from country to country. In the United States the FDA approved some specific glycoside extracts for use as food additives in 2008. The European Union approved stevia additives in 2011, and in Japan stevia has been widely used as a sweetener for decades.
