Sweetness shouldn’t be avoided. We believe that if the little moments are made sweeter, a happy, balanced life will follow suit. Truvia offers a great tasting sugar-alternative with fewer kilojoules compared to sugar, so whether you’re adding to your cuppa, or baking a cake, we’ve got you covered.

Three Ingredients. Infinite Possibilities.

Leaf cluster with crystals

Truvia Low-Kilojoule Sweetener, in sachet and jar format, is made with simply three ingredients: stevia leaf extract (also called steviol extract), erythritol and flavourings. To make Truvia Low-Kilojoule Sweetener, we first take the sweetest parts of the stevia leaf and extract its sweetness. But stevia leaf extract is 200 times sweeter than sugar, so to balance the sweetness we add a sugar alcohol called erythritol. Then we add a special recipe of flavourings to create great-tasting, Low-Kilojoule sweetness.

Stevia Leaf Extract (Steviol Extract)

Stevia is a plant that has been enjoyed for the delicate sweetness from its leaves for centuries. The stevia leaves are dried and steeped in water to unlock the best tasting part of the leaf which is then purified.

Erythritol

Erythritol is a sweetener, produced by a fermentation process like beer and cheese. Erythritol is also found in fruits like grapes and pears.

Flavourings

Flavourings are used to bring out the best of Truvia Low-Kilojoule Sweetener, like pepper or salt or any other spice that would be used to enhance the taste of food.

From Stevia to Truvia Sweetener

In six stages, the sweetness of stevia makes the journey from harvest to your kitchen. By always following this series of steps, we ensure we obtain the best tasting parts of the stevia leaf to use in our sweeteners to add to your favourite dishes.
