New Delhi, May 8, 2022, Sunday

The glory of sugarcane juice increases in summer. Lemon syrup and sugar cane are similar to nectar when glucose is rapidly depleted in the body due to heat but there is one plant which has a sweetness measure of 300 times sweeter than fine sugar. Whose name is Stevia. This plant has natural sweetness and is therefore used in the manufacture of confectionery and beverages in the country and abroad.

The global market for stevia products is expected to reach 1.11 billion by 2028. Surprisingly, despite all the sweetness, stevia does not contain calories or carbohydrates. It also has a low glycemic index. Full of natural qualities, this plant is in high demand in the international market.


Stevia is well consumed, especially in Europe. China is a major producer and supplier of stevia. Stevia cultivation in India has also increased over the last few years. The stevia plant has a lifespan of five to seven years and gives high returns as it has four shoots per year. Stevia plants cannot withstand temperatures below 6 સે C .It is a sub-tropical crop so India has a favorable climate for stevia cultivation. Stevia can withstand temperatures ranging from 5 to 45 degrees Celsius.

This is obtained from a plant called Rabodia. Stevia leaves are shaped like basil. Chewing its leaves makes you feel very sore. That is why it is also called sweet leaf or sweet basil. People with type-2 diabetes tend to have higher sugar levels after meals but using this natural sweetness does not increase sugar levels.
