Win a box of Truvia® with Foodepedia

Win a box of Truvia® with Foodepedia

Truvia®Calorie-Free sweetener is refreshingly uncomplicated. Sprinkle it on your grapefruit. Spoon it in your tea and coffee. It won't end up on your conscience or your thighs. One sachet of Truvia® Calorie-Free sweetener provides the same sweetness as one teaspoon of sugar. Truvia® Spoonable provides you with the option to sweeten to your own taste. 1/3 teaspoon sweetens like 1 teaspoon of sugar. Truvia® Calorie-Free sweetener is a great alternative for people with diabetes. It is also kosher pareve (neutral) and suitable for vegetarians. And it can be used in loads of recipes like this one for Truvia® Mango Coriander Chicken.
People have been sweetening foods and beverages with stevia leaves for hundreds of years. The sweet taste of the stevia leaf is captured by steeping it in water similar to making tea. This unlocks the best part of the leaf, which is purified to provide a calorie-free sweet taste.
