But up until recently only, it was not allowed as a food ingredient in product formulation. As a retailer, we hope to be carrying stevia-sweetened gourmet treats soon. This is great news! We are very proud of Canada for growing such a great natural sweetener. We hope North America steps up and becomes a leading supplier of Reb A.

Also, while you list many countries in which Stevia is grown, Canada, where it is grown plentifully (especially in the Niagara region) is not included There is a good link here for more about this plant: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/crops/facts/stevia.htm I am surprised that you don’t mention that Stevia can be purchased in it’s natural form at health food stores and is readily available in personal-sized containers of sweeteners.
