Taste our Cadenza bars in comparison with any luxury chocolate product,
with or without sugar or sugar substitutes. The taste is wonderful. Here's
more information about the key sweetening ingredient.
Stevia has been used in parts of South America for over a thousand years
as a sweetening agent. It has been allowed for use in Japan and parts of
Asia for decades but only recently, due to bureaucratic inertia, has it been
allowed to be used in foods in the U.S.
The sweetening agent, Reb A, derived from the Stevia plant is natural but its
strength makes using it effectively in fine foods such as luxury chocolate
products difficult since the sweetening effect is, weight for weight, 300 times
sweeter than sugar. We tried hundreds of formulations before presenting our
Cadenza bars which have a unique and completely wonderful taste and
mouthfeel with no indication that the sweetness comes from Stevia. .
Adding Stevia to chocolate does not result in digestive difficulties which may
occur with other sugar substitutes.. Stevia is also safe and effective for
diabetics. One web site declares, "Rather than raise blood sugar like most
other natural sweeteners, stevia actually lowers it. Research from the Journal
of Phytomedicine shows that stevia helps control blood glucose and
promotes insulin creation." This article was published in 2006 prior to the
FDA approval of Reb A (extract of Stevia).
Dave's Garden, a well-known internet gardening page, has much information
about Stevia Rebaudiana, the source for our sweetener. The plant will grow
outdoors all year in much of the southern United States and, in the north,
can be cultivated either as a seasonal plant, started indoors, or as a
container plant, moved inside when the temperature falls. The plant itself is
not difficult to grow, and the leaves, taken from the plant without any
treatment, are incredibly sweet.
