Products Description
Premium Stevia Extract Powder | 98% Rebaudioside A (Reb A) | Zero-Calorie Natural Sweetener for Food, Beverages & Supplements
Our Stevia Extract Powder Reb A 98% is a high-intensity, zero-calorie natural sweetener derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, standardized to contain 98% rebaudioside A (Reb A)-the sweetest and most stable steviol glycoside. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we specialize in producing ultra-pure stevia extract with exceptional sweetness (300-400x sweeter than sugar) and a clean, non-bitter taste profile, making it the gold standard for natural sugar replacement.
Sourced from organically grown stevia leaves (non-GMO, pesticide-free) in optimal growing regions, our extract undergoes a proprietary water-based purification process to isolate Reb A, eliminating off-notes and ensuring consistent sweetness. Unlike lower-purity stevia extracts or synthetic sweeteners, our Stevia Extract Powder Reb A 98% delivers superior taste, stability, and functionality across formulations. Trusted by food, beverage, and supplement brands worldwide, it meets strict global standards (FDA, EFSA, JECFA) for natural sweeteners.
