Are Truvia and Stevia the same?

No. Stevia leaf extract is a key ingredient in Truvia sweeteners. Each delicious taste of Truvia sweetener contains purified extract made from the best-tasting parts of the stevia plant.

Ingredients

Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener, in packet and spoonable form, contains three ingredients: erythritol, stevia leaf extract and natural flavours.

Stevia leaf extract comes from the stevia plant. Over 200 times sweeter than sugar, stevia leaf extract is the primary sweetening ingredient in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener.

Like pepper, salt or any other spice that would be used to heighten the taste of food, natural flavours are used to bring out the best of Truvia calorie-free sweetener.

Erythritol is used as an ingredient to provide bulk and the sugar-like crystalline appearance and texture for Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener. Erythritol is found naturally in a variety of fruits, such as grapes and pears. The erythritol used in Truvia Calorie-Free Sweetener is produced through a fermentation process.

Chicory root fiber is a naturally sourced fructan from the chicory root. Fructans occur in foods such as agave, artichokes, asparagus, chicory, leeks, garlic, onions, and wheat.
