100% Organic Green Stevia Leaf Powder (100 g / 3.5 oz)

Description

A natural and unaltered true fine green powder. Only slightly processed from ground organically-grown stevia leaves, it retains the nutrients as well as the emerald color, taste, and aroma of the plant. Made from the plant species Stevia Rebaudiana grown on self-sustaining stevia farms, picked by hand, and sun-dried. Our certified organic, kosher stevia is left uniquely natural by not over-processing, keeping the naturally-beneficial phytochemicals of the stevia plant intact. We dry-steam sterilize, a low-heat process that eliminates pathogen risk while retaining the color, aroma, and taste. Unfortunately, the market is rife with stevia powders that have been either sun-dried without any sterilization, irradiated, or moist-heat sterilized, a process that damages the powder.Though many green stevia powders are made by grinding the entire plant, we use only the best leaves. Whole-plant powders are sifted, and can contain stems and other larger pieces. Omica's stevia leaves are milled into a fine, consistent powder.Since Green stevia powder generally isn't as sweet or as water-soluble as a white stevia powder due to the retention of chlorophyll and fiber, it's not recommended as a sugar substitute in beverages or for sprinkling on food. This product is specifically meant for, and highly prized by, those looking for a minimally processed, natural product for blended smoothies, cooking and baking. If you prefer a white stevia sugar substitute, we recommend our Organic-Certified, Star-K Kosher-Certified Stevia Extract Powder. Made from the extract of the stevia leaves, our white stevia powders are much sweeter than sugar, and perfect for dissolving in teas and other beverages or for sprinkling on berries and fruits for a delicious guilt-free snack.
