Stevia (سٹیویا) is a genus of plants native to South America. Its common names, sweet leaf and sugar leaf, suggest its tastiness. A highly refined form of stevia called rebaudioside A (marketed as Rebiana) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a food additive. Stevia is often touted as a safe and healthy sugar substitute that can sweeten up foods without the negative health effects linked to refined sugar.
