Stevia rebaudiana is a sweet or honey herb native to South America, a species of the genus Stevia from the Asteraceae family. Stevia is a South American plant that the indigenous Guarani tribes have used as a sweetener for food and drinks for centuries. It is a perennial plant that comes from subtropical regions and does not tolerate frost or low temperatures. It grows 70-100 cm tall and has leaves 3 cm long and 2 cm wide. The plant is self-pollinating, and when it blooms, it has white flowers, at which time the leaves are the sweetest. It is 200 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, which is why South American natives called it the 'honey leaf.' It is a natural sweetener and, unlike sugar, does not cause tooth decay, has no calories, glycemic index, or harmful side effects like artificial sweeteners, and is resistant to high temperatures. It is exceptionally medicinal and helps with wound healing, obesity, high uric acid and gout, sore throats, and positively affects many ailments such as fatigue, constipation and bloating, high stomach acid, fungal infections, and many other unpleasant conditions. Stevia also preserves youth and reduces signs of aging. It is a plant with many beneficial effects, comparable in composition and action to green tea, and in quality to breast milk. Stevia leaves contain many minerals and trace elements and are 35 to 45 times sweeter than sugar. Due to its properties, stevia is a good choice for diabetics, people with high blood pressure or excess weight, and for all those who avoid refined sugar in their diet. Stevia lowers blood sugar levels, does not affect insulin, which is especially important for diabetics, lowers high blood pressure, reduces feelings of hunger, and improves digestion. The latest research shows that stevia products also help prevent cancer.
Today, stevia is mostly grown in South America, but also in China, India, and other Asian countries. For planting, growth, and cultivation of stevia, plenty of sunlight, rainfall, and manual care are required.
Drying and grinding stevia leaves produces a powder or dust used for sweetening food or drinks.

Stevia rebaudiana je slatka ili medena trava porijeklom iz Južne Amerike,vrsta je roda Stevie iz obitelji Asteraceae.. Stevia je južnoamerička biljka koju indijanska plemena Guarani koriste kao sladilo za hranu i piće već stoljećima. Višegodišnja je biljka koja dolazi iz subtropskog područja i ne podnosi mraz tj.niske temperature. Naraste 70-100 cm u visinu i ima listove duge 3 cm i široke 2 cm. Biljka je samooplodna , kada cvjeta ima bijele cvjetove i tada su listovi najslađi. Slađa je od šećera čak 200 do 400 puta i zato su je južnoamerički domoroci nazvali „medeni list“. Prirodni je zaslađivač, te za razliku od šećera ne izaziva karijes, nema kalorija, glikemijskog indeksa, ni štetnih nuspojava poput umjetnih zaslađivača te je otporna na visoke temperature. Iznimno je ljekovita i pomaže kod zarastanja rana, gojaznosti, povećane mokraćne kiseline i gihta, upala grla i pozitivno djeluje na mnoge tegobe poput umora, zatvora i napuhivanja, povećane želučane kiseline, gljivica kao i na mnoge, druge neugodne pojave. Jednako tako stevia čuva mladost i briše tragove godina. Ona je biljka s puno korisnih efekata, po sastavu i djelovanju se može usporediti sa zelenim čajem, a po kakvoći s majčinim mlijekom. List stevije sadrži mnoštvo minerala i oligoelemenata i čak je 35 do 45 puta slađi od šećera. Zbog svojih svojstava stevia je dobar izbor za dijabetičare, za ljude s povišenim tlakom ili prekomjernom težinom i za sve one koji izbjegavaju rafinirani šećer u prehrani. Stevia snižava razinu šećera u krvi, ne utječe na inzulin, što je posebice važno za dijabetičare, snižava visoki krvni pritisak, smanjuje osjećaj gladi te poboljšava probavu. Najnovija istraživanja pokazuju da proizvodi od stevije pomažu i u sprečavanju nastanka raka.
Danas se stevia najviše sadi upravo u Južnoj Americi, ali i Kini, Indiji i drugim zemljama Azije. Za sadnju, rast i uzgoj stevije potrebno je mnogo sunčeve svjetlosti, padalina i ručne njege.
Sušenjem lišća Stevie i njegovim usitnjavanjem dobije se prah ili puder koji se koristi za zaslađivanje hrane ili pića.
