Guest guest Posted March 18, 2002 Report Share Posted March 18, 2002 What is Stevia? Stevia Rebaudiana is an herb in the Chrysanthemum family which grows wild as a small shrub in parts of Paraguay and Brazil. The glycosides in its leaves, including up to 10% Stevioside, account for its incredible sweetness, making it unique among the nearly 300 species of Stevia plants. There are indications that Stevia (or Ca-he-he) has been used to sweeten a native beverage called mate' since Pre-Columbian times. However, a Natural Scientist names Antonion Bertoni first recorded its usage by natiuve tribes in 1887.
