So, what is zaharină?

Zaharină is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It has gained popularity as a low-calorie alternative to sugar due to its zero calorie content and negligible effect on blood sugar levels. Zaharină is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and has a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is commonly used in food and beverage products, such as soft drinks, yogurt, and baked goods. Zaharină is considered safe for consumption and is approved by the FDA as a food additive.
