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.
