The cultivation of Stevia in China began in the 1970'. The main raw materials of Stevia sugar are the stems of Stevia leaves. Stevia is a subtropical plant, which requires warm temperatures, sufficient rain, and lots of sunshine. It is a non-GMO crop. As the plant is very intensely sweet, it requires significantly less water, land, and energy to produce the same amount of sweetness compared to other well-known sweeteners and sugar alternatives. In optimal conditions, Stevia may be harvested multiple times every year.
