The stevia plant is a member of the chrysanthemum family and is native to South America. Today it is grown primarily in China. To extract the plant’s intense natural sweetness, stevia leaves are harvested and dried. The leaves are then steeped in hot water. The resulting liquid extract is filtered, purified, and dried, resulting in the crystalized stevia leaf extract that is the primary sweetening ingredient in a multitude of stevia based sweeteners.
