Preference, for heath reasons or just for healthy living – many Canadian reach for sugar alternatives in their every day lives. This spring, Whole Earth Sweetener Company introduced Pure Via sweeteners. The lineup consists of naturally sourced alternative to sugar and artificial sweetener made from the pure extract of the stevia plant, which can be used in hot or cold beverages.
A pure extract of the naturally sweet stevia plant is the secret to Pure Via’s sweetness. It’s called Reb A and is the sweetest and best tasting part of the stevia plant. As well, Reb A is more than 200 times sweeter than sugar, so think of how little you actually need when using.
Pure Via Stevia has zero calories and not artificially made, making it a natural choice for those wanting a natural sweetener. To learn more about the product, its ingredients, how it’s made and more – look to the helpful FAQ section on the site.
Pure Via sweeteners are now showing up at grocery stores across Canada, so watch your local shelves!
WIN IT: Canadian My Organized Chaos readers have a chance to Win a Pure Via gift pack valued at more than $200, it includes the following items:
