Certified Organic North American Grown Stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a member of the Compositae family. The Stevia plant is native of eastern Paraguay(the Amambay Mountain Range) and the adjacent Parana Estate of Brazil. It was first discovered by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay long before Columbus arrived in the New World. It has been consumed since ancient times to sweeten Yerba Mate tea (Ilex paraguayensis).
The amount of Stevioside in the Stevia leaf varies with climate, soil conditions, and time of harvest and can range from 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar.
