Our Story

Our stevia leaves are grown in the farms of South America and are produced with love and pride—all the way from our ethical agricultural practices to the final finished product. Our stevia plots are located in the Peruvian region of San Martin, which has the ideal conditions for the growth of stevia in terms of precipitation, sunlight, temperature, and ground conditions. Once cultivated, the leaves are harvested by the local communities of Brazil, inspected for the highest quality, and then enjoyed by people around the world looking for a natural sugar substitute.

Since the beginning, we’ve prided ourselves on our commitments in three areas: sharing and improving communities, stewarding natural resources, and sourcing responsibility. These business drivers have led to the creation of a common vision across the Sweetly® Stevia brand, and a way of thinking that continually seeks out economic, environmental and social opportunities.

We Extract and Purify Using Only Water

Natural and pure, our extraction process uses 100% safe and natural techniques to draw out the steviosides from the leaves of the stevia plant. Many sugar substitutes use ethanol, methanol, or even rubbing alcohol to produce their stevia, but through our special patented process, we use only water to extract and purify the sweet stevia goodness. This results in 100% natural, granulated stevia that tastes just like sugar!

From Field to Table: A Process

Sweetly® Stevia has a patented extraction process that means there is no longer the taste-tradeoff you find with other sweetener options. It’s 100% natural and 100% delicious, all the way from our farms in South America.

Farming

Our stevia is a non-GMO crop and its farming, extraction, and purification require less water, land, and energy to produce the same amount of sweetness found in other natural sweeteners (including sugar).

Harvesting

We establish long term relationships with local farmers (primarily in Brazil) with a view to improving the lives of the communities there.

Extraction & Purification

Unless you want to chew the leaves, stevia leaves need to have their sweetness extracted from them (result = steviosides). We use a patented process that extracts and purifies the sugary goodness using only water. A bit like giving our leaves a power shower. Our process is 100% natural and results in a product that genuinely tastes like sugar!

Blending

Our high purity stevia can be up to four times sweeter than sugar. In this pure extracted form, steviosides are too sweet for human taste buds, so companies like us need to add fillers to make the sweetness more palatable. We only use natural ingredients of the highest quality so our blend is 100% natural.

Packaging & Shipping

We use sustainably sourced materials wherever possible. For example, our shelf-ready casing uses FSC Certified material & our ink is environmentally friendly. We even pick our transport companies due to their efforts to reduce environmental impact.

Your Home or Business

Via your chosen retailer, Sweetly® Stevia low calorie-sweetener is refreshingly uncomplicated. Sprinkle it on your cereal. Spoon it in your tea and coffee. It won’t end up on your conscience or your thighs!

Tastes Like Sugar

A taste panel conducted by Oxford Brookes University’s Consumer Quantitative Research Food Science Department found that Sweetly® Stevia was not bitter and did not linger in the mouth afterward. 70% of the adults in the taste panel could not tell the difference between Sweetly® Stevia and sugar!
