Go Green: A Packet of a Different Color is Gaining Ground
LOS ANGELES-(Business Wire)-August 7, 2007 - In the beginning, there were white packets. They were good, but caloric. So then came pink, blue, and yellow packets.
Still, the pastel rainbow populating coffee shops everywhere left something to be desired. At last, along came a packet that is vibrantly and authentically green, the color of life and health. With no calories, carbs, or chemicals, all-natural and delicious-tasting SweetLeaf(R) SteviaPlus(R), has found its place in the coffee and tea of health-conscious tastemakers (www.sweetleaf.com). And it has earned its green pedigree and packaging. "Consumers want something that tastes delicious, without calories or chemicals. It has been impossible to find all three attributes in one product until now," says James May, president and CEO of Wisdom Natural Brands, maker of SweetLeaf SteviaPlus.
Why are more and more consumers going "green" when it comes to what they choose to stir into their morning coffee or tea? Here are the facts:
— SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is made from the green leaves of the stevia rebaudiana plant native to Paraguay, and is sustainably farmed.
— Stevia farming enriches farmers, not corporations. In South America, stevia is known as "oro verde" or "green gold."
— Stevia has been used by rainforest populations for centuries as a natural sweetener in medicines and beverages.
— More than 1000 studies support the safety of consuming stevia and tout stevia's benefits as part of a healthy diet.
— SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is the number one selling brand of stevia in the U.S. and the only one to contain beneficial inulin fiber (thought to nourish the healthy bacteria in the intestines) instead of high-glycemic fillers.
— SweetLeaf SteviaPlus has zero calories, zero glycemic index, zero carbohydrates, and absolutely no chemicals or artificial ingredients.
— Weight loss is an obvious benefit of SweetLeaf SteviaPlus. It is also certified kosher.
— SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is available in convenient packets, shaker containers, and in tablet form (SteviaTabs) in a portable tin for purse or pocket.
— SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is a delicious enhancement to hot beverages, makes an absolutely delicious lemonade and can also be used in cooking and baking.
Other SweetLeaf Stevia products include SweetLeaf Liquid Stevia Flavors (delicious, calorie-free drops available in twelve flavors to jazz up coffee, tea, smoothies, plain water, and even cocktails).
Green has never tasted this good.
