Meet The Entire Family
Native to parts of South America, the leaves of the stevia plant have been used as a sweetener in teas and medicines for hundreds of years. Born from the best tasting parts of the leaves of the stevia plant, stevia leaf extract is the main sweetening ingredient in Truvia Stevia Leaf Sweeteners.
At Truvia, we work hard to ensure that the stevia we source is not only the best-tasting, highest quality stevia available – but also sustainably and responsibly produced.
Truvia Calorie-free Stevia Sweetener is made with simply three ingredients: stevia leaf extract, erythritol and natural flavors. To make Truvia Calorie-free Stevia Sweetener, we first take the sweetest part of the stevia leaf and extract its natural sweetness. But stevia leaf extract is 200 times sweeter than sugar, so to balance the sweetness we add a sugar alcohol called erythritol. Then we add a special recipe of natural flavors to create great-tasting, zero calorie sweetness.
The stevia leaf extract used in the Truvia Sweetener is a high purity sweetener containing the best-tasting parts of the stevia leaf.
Erythritol is a sweetener, produced by a fermentation process. Erythritol is also found in fruits like grapes and pears.
Flavors are used to bring out the best of Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener, similar to how spices enhance the taste of food.
In six stages, the sweetness of stevia makes the journey from harvest to your kitchen. By always following this series of steps, we ensure we obtain the best tasting parts of the stevia leaf to use in our sweeteners to add to your favourite dishes.
Stevia leaf extract is born from the sweet leaves of the stevia plant. To extract the plant’s intense 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. Over 200 times sweeter than sugar, stevia leaf extract is the primary sweetening ingredient in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener.

Natural flavors are used as an ingredient in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener. Like pepper, salt or any other spice that would be used to heighten the taste of food, natural flavors are used to bring out the best in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweeteners. While we can’t share what our natural flavors are, we can share they are derived from natural sources.
Erythritol is the largest ingredient in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener by weight, and is used as an ingredient to provide bulk and the sugar-like crystalline appearance and texture for Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener. The erythritol used in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener is produced through a fermentation process. Fermentation is the process by which an organism metabolizes or “digests” one or more food sources to produce a desired product. Fermentation occurs in a variety of different foods given the right conditions and is used to produce wine, beer and yogurt. In the case of erythritol, a yeast digests a simple sugar called dextrose and other nutrients and produces erythritol. After fermentation, the erythritol is filtered and dried into crystals. Erythritol is found in a variety of fruits, such as grapes and pears.
