The sweetness ratio

Stevia to sugar sweetness ratio: 1300

One part stevia can sweeten like up to three hundred parts sugar, with zero calories.

A.
0 calories
Steviol glycosides sweeten without adding energy.
B.
50%+ less sugar
Sugar reduction is possible even in challenging applications.
C.
Less land & water
Intense sweetness means far smaller crops than sugar cane.

Mother nature's zero-calorie sweetener.

Stevia is a naturally sweet member of the daisy family, native to South America. Its leaves hold steviol glycosides, sweet compounds that are heat-stable, plant-based and free of calories.

People are cutting back on added sugar and choosing ingredients they recognise. Stevia meets both needs.

A supply chain grown from the ground up.

With our technical partner CQUniversity, whose research helped bring stevia into Australian food in 2008, we're developing a stevia crop industry and extraction capability for Australian and overseas markets.

Stage 01
Research
Crop trials and extraction research with our technical partner, CQUniversity.
Stage 02
Cultivation
Trials that show how stevia performs in Australian conditions, and how to lift yields.
Stage 03
Processing
A local extraction and refining facility, now in development, so Australian leaf becomes Australian sweetener.
Stage 04
Distribution
Finished stevia for manufacturers in Australia and across Asia-Pacific.
