SweeGen, which is a "nature-based sweetener company," has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of an "advanced stevia-based sugar reduction platform" -- BESTEVIA® TASTE SOLUTIONS. The launch seeks to bring positive changes to categories of dairy, confectionery, nutrition, and more.
Stevia is a natural sweetener that is derived from the leaves of a plant species that is native to Brazil and Paraguay. Commercially, it is often used as a substitute for sugar.
