Truvia is not the same as stevia. Stevia leaf extract is a key ingredient in Truvia sweeteners, and each delicious taste contains purified extract made from the best-tasting parts of the stevia plant.
Stevia leaf extract comes from the sweet leaves of the stevia plant. To extract the plant’s intense sweetness, stevia leaves are harvested and dried. The leaves are then steeped in hot water. The resulting liquid extract is filtered, purified, and dried, resulting in the crystalized stevia leaf extract. Over 200 times sweeter than sugar, stevia leaf extract is the primary sweetening ingredient in Truvia® Calorie-Free Sweetener.
Monk Fruit extract is the high purity extract that comes from monk fruit, which may be used as a sweetening ingredient in foods, beverages, or tabletop sweeteners. It’s about 200 times sweeter than sugar.
Natural flavors are used as an ingredient in some Truvia® Calorie-Free Sweeteners and Truvia® Liquid Sweeteners. Like pepper, salt, or any other spice that would be used to heighten the taste of food, natural flavors are used to bring out the best.
Erythritol is the largest ingredient, by weight, in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweeteners made with Erythritol and is used as an ingredient to provide bulk and a sugar-like crystalline appearance and texture. The erythritol used in these products is produced through a fermentation process.
The following Truvia® brand products do not contain erythritol:
Truvia® Stevia Liquid Sweetener, Original Flavor; Truvia® Stevia Liquid Sweetener, Vanilla Flavor; Truvia® Allulose Plus Stevia Sweetener, Truvia® Allulose Plus Monk Fruit Sweetener, Truvia® Allulose Plus Stevia Sweetener and Monk Fruit Sweetener.
Allulose is a very low-calorie sweetener which provides a similar taste to traditional sugar. It is 70% as sweet as sugar and contains 0.4 calories per gram compared to the 4 calories per gram found in sugar. Allulose is found in small quantities in foods such as wheat, figs, and raisins. Allulose is made commercially by converting fructose to allulose using enzymes
Stevia is a plant that has natural sweet parts in its leaves. These sweet parts of the stevia leaf are called steviol glycosides, and one of the best-tasting ones is called Reb M (short for rebaudioside M). In nature, Reb M is found in very small amounts in the stevia leaf. Reb M is produced using enzymes to change other sweet components of the stevia leaf extract into Reb M.
