Sweetness is meant to be enjoyed . That's why Truvia created products meant to reduce sugar, not taste . The clean, sweet flavor contained in Truvia Natural Sweetener packets comes from nature in the form of the stevia leaf . Leaves don't dissolve well in beverages or baked goods, so we extract the sweetness from the stevia leaf .
