Stevia Extract

[Characteristics]

Stevia sugar features high sweetness and low calorie and its sweetness is 200 350  times of that  of cane sugar but its calorie is only 1/300 of that of cane sugar.

The component of stevia extract that gives it its sweetness is a mixture of various steviol glycosides. The components of sweetness in stevia leaves are stevioside, rebaudioside A, C, D, E and dulcoside A. Rebaudioside C, D, E and dulcoside A are small in quantity. The principal components are stevioside and rebaudioside A.

The quality of stevioside and rebaudiosideA is better than those of other components, which are commercially extracted and used in various applications.

The steviol glycosides present in stevia extract are referred to as “steviosides” or ¡°stevia extract¡±. Among these “steviosides”, the most common is Stevioside followed by RebaudiosideA. The Stevioside has a slight and pleasant herbal taste and the Rebaudioside-A has no herbal taste.

Although Rebaudioside C and dulcoside A are small in quantity in stevia extract, they are the major components giving bitter aftertaste.

[Function]

A large number of pharmaceutical tests have proved that stevia sugar has no side effects, carcinogens, and is safe for eating.

Compared with cane sugar, it can save 70% of the cost. With pure white color, pleasing taste and no peculiar smell, Stevia sugar is a new sugar source with broad perspective for development. Stevia rebaudianum sugar is the natural low hotsweet agent mostly similar to the flavor of cane sugar, approved to be used by State Ministry of Health and Ministry of Light Industry.

It is the third natural succedaneum of cane sugar and beet sugar with development and health care value, extracted from the leaves of the herbal vegetable of the composite family-stevia rebaudianum.

If you’re packing lunch for a nut-free classroom, this DIY Sunflower Seed Butter recipe is a lifesaver—and money saver, too!

Unlike tree nuts, sunflower seeds are allergy-friendly, so it’s great that they make a delicious sandwich spread that tastes surprisingly like peanut butter. The only problem is that store-bought can cost a lot and sometimes be overly sweetened, too. So instead of spending money, I spend some time—it doesn’t take much!—to make this DIY sunbutter.

All you need are raw sunflower seeds, salt, and honey or, if you’re sharing with anyone under 12-months-old, agave syrup.

Using raw sunflower seeds is *really* important. Even though you toast them before making sun butter, you can’t use pre-roasted. It seems like it’ll be a shortcut, I know, but it will really just be a disaster since roasted sunflower seeds don’t have enough oil to produce a creamy spread.

Toasting your raw seeds before blending them into a sunbutter gives your sunflower seeds spread an awesome flavor that I think is way better but, if you’re in a time crunch, you can make this without toasting them first. If you like the way it tastes, going straight from the package to the blender will certainly save you time—it’s just a matter of taste.

To make a big batch, I toss 3 cups of raw sunflower seeds into an ungreased pan set over medium heat. I cook them, shaking the pan every minute or so, until they are fragrance and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Then, toss the toasted seeds into a food processor or high powered blender with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar. Then whiz, whiz, whiz.

At first, the seeds will turn into a fine powder, then a grainy butter—don’t stop here. The longer you process the seeds, the more their oils will release. Keep going and soon, the grainy butter will turn into a creamy spread. Once this happens, you can leave it as chunky or make it as sooth as you like. The whole process can take 8-10 minutes, depending on how powerful your processor or blends is.

If you want to sweeten your sun butter beyond the sugar you’ve added in the beginning (like I do), add some honey to the grainy butter. Do it to taste—I usually add 2-3 teaspoons. You can add cinnamon then, too.

Then enjoy. Add what you don’t eat right away to a sealed container and keep in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.
