Rio Natural
RioSweet REB-A 97% Stevia Natural
Rio Natural’s RioSweet offers a new, healthier approach to the calorie-free sweetener market. RioSweet is 100% natural, using organically–grown Stevia rebaudiana plants. Like known sweeteners in the blue and pink packets, Stevia is calorie-free. The large distinction is that Stevia is a plant-based sweetener, not an artificial one. RioSweet Stevia sweetener is useful in drinks, bottled drinks, and many more applications. Unlike artificial sweeteners, Stevia does not break down in heat, making it an excellent choice for cooking and baking. The calorie free and natural qualities make Stevia extract a health food ideal. And RioSweet Reb-A 97% Stevia extract is approximately 400 times sweeter than sugar.
