Are Truvia™ natural sweetener, rebiana and stevia all the same thing?
No. Truvia™ is the brand name. Rebiana is the common or usual name for this new ingredient derived from the stevia plant. Stevia is used to describe either the stevia plant or to loosely describe various products derived from the stevia plant. Both stevia and rebiana come from the leaves of the stevia plant. However, rebiana, developed by Cargill, is a high-purity, consistent product that comes from the best-tasting components of the stevia leaf. Stevia as used in dietary supplements typically refers to a crude preparation from the leaves of the stevia plant that contains a mixture of many components, not just those that give a sweet taste to the leaf.
