The country has been undergoing a sugar shortage for the past few months, causing sugar prices to soar. The price surge of this kitchen staple has affected the purchasing power of Filipinos, who are already having difficulty coping with inflation. Given how sugar is a key ingredient in most dishes, many people have struggled to make their lives and dishes sweeter.
Fortunately, there’s a healthy alternative
that can help solve Filipinos’ sugar woes. Stevia is a natural sweetener
derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It is 300 times sweeter
than sugar but has zero calories and does not cause spikes in blood sugar
levels. It is better than chemical-based artificial sweeteners because it does not
have any aftertaste or carry potential health risks.
This wonder plant can be used for baking,
as a food enhancer for cooking, and to sweeten hot and cold drinks without
guilt. What’s great about Stevia is how it sweetens food and beverages
naturally, unlike sugar which has been linked to obesity and diabetes.
Moreover, Stevia is considered nonglycemic, meaning it does not affect one’s
blood pressure levels.
Given these health benefits, swapping
Stevia with refined sugar can be a complete game changer for people who want to
make healthier food and beverage choices and maintain a healthy weight
range.
Understanding Stevia’s potential to address
Filipinos’ sugary dilemma, Glorious Industrial & Development
Corporation (GIDC), also known as the Stevia Company, launched a lineup of
naturally-sweetened and healthy beverages. GIDC, the Stevia Company’s line-up
of products under its Glorious brand, includes the Glorious 3in1 Premium Coffee
and Glorious Iced Tea Mixes and the Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea.
“We understand how important sweetness is
to Filipinos’ taste palette,” said Ms. Au De Leon, president, and CEO of GIDC,
The Stevia Company. “By making Glorious available nationwide, we want to
empower more Filipinos to discover a healthier way to make their lives sweeter.”
The company’s latest products are not only
good for one’s body, but they taste great too. Hence, people don’t need to
sacrifice flavor to care for their health. All Glorious beverages are sweetened
with Stevia, and every teaspoon of Stevia is equivalent to three teaspoons of
refined sugar.
Glorious Premium 3in1 Coffee Mix is a
delicious coffee blend sweetened with Sweet & Fit Stevia. It is recommended
for people with sugar-related concerns, weight watchers, and other
health-conscious individuals. Sweet & Fit Stevia has zero calories, zero
fat, zero sodium, zero carbohydrates, and zero cholesterol.
People who want to control their sugar
intake can now sweeten up their lives and favorite fruit teas with Glorious
Iced Tea Mixes. This product comes in three flavors: Red Berries, Lemon, and
Cucumber. Meanwhile, Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea can be used to make other hot
or cold beverages together with non-dairy milk or fresh fruits for a healthy
little pick-me-up.
