Stevia Powder Exporter – Stevia Leaf Powder
Stevia powder is commonly used to describe powdered leaves of Stevia rebaudiana, a plant known for its naturally sweet-tasting compounds. Leaf powder is different from purified steviol glycoside extract: it contains ground leaf material and should not be described using extract purity percentages or high-intensity sweetener specifications.

Stevia Powder Product Details
Stevia is the common name for Stevia rebaudiana, a plant whose leaves contain sweet-tasting steviol glycosides. The term “stevia powder” can refer to ground dried leaves or to a processed extract. These are not interchangeable products. The details below describe the botanical ingredient generally; Meerico’s exact product form and batch specifications must be confirmed before purchase.
- Product name: Stevia Powder
- Common name: Stevia, sweet leaf
- Botanical name: Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni)
- Plant family: Asteraceae
- Plant part: Leaves
- Product form: Leaf powder
- Product category: Botanical ingredient / sweetening ingredient
- Colour: Leaf powder: gray green. Purified extract powder: white to off-white
- Appearance and odour: Fine powder with a characteristic odour
- Composition: Ground stevia leaf powder contains naturally occurring steviol glycosides, mainly stevioside and rebaudioside A, with smaller amounts of rebaudioside C and other glycosides. Reported levels in dried leaves are roughly 10–20% steviol glycosides on a dry-weight basis, depending on cultivar, growing conditions and harvest. Purified steviol glycoside extracts are a different ingredient format, and international specifications for them call for at least 95% steviol glycosides on the dried basis. Confirm whether you need ground leaf powder or purified extract
- Flavour: Sweet with herbal notes; leaf powder can also carry a slightly bitter, licorice-like aftertaste. Sweetness and aftertaste vary by product form and composition, and purified extracts are far more concentrated than leaf powder
- Applications: Stevia powder is evaluated as a calorie-free sweetening ingredient in selected food and beverage formulations. Leaf powder is typically considered for herbal tea blends, seasoning and dry mixes, and products that want a whole-leaf character, while purified extracts are more common in sugar-reduction work in beverages, baked goods, dairy desserts, cereals and tabletop sweeteners. Because bitterness, aftertaste and colour differ by form and batch, trial batches are advisable before scaling up. Suitability and labelling depend on the ingredient identity and the regulations of the destination market, which can treat whole-leaf powder and purified extract differently
- Mesh, moisture and purity: Request current batch-specific specifications. As a general reference, leaf powders are often supplied with around 90% passing a #60 mesh sieve, and purified extract powders with at least 95% passing #80 mesh. For purified extracts, JECFA specifications set loss on drying at not more than 6% and total ash at not more than 1%. Values for any given batch should come from the supplier’s current specification or laboratory report
- Shelf life: Stevia powders are commonly given a shelf life of about 24 months from the date of manufacture when kept sealed in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Follow the applicable product label or supplier specification
- Storage: Keep in a tightly closed, food-grade pack in a cool, dry place away from heat, light and humidity
- Supply options: Wholesale, bulk, export and retail packaging enquiries
- Pack sizes and minimum order quantity: Confirm current options with Meerico
- Documentation: Order-specific; confirm which documents, such as a specification or laboratory report, are available before ordering
What Is Stevia Powder?
Stevia rebaudiana is a plant native to South America. Its leaves contain steviol glycosides, compounds responsible for their sweet taste. In commercial supply, “stevia powder” is an ambiguous name: it may mean dried, ground stevia leaves or a refined extract containing concentrated steviol glycosides.
Ground leaf powder retains the plant material and has a different colour, flavour, composition and use profile from a purified extract. A refined extract is processed to concentrate particular steviol glycosides and is typically specified by its glycoside content. A buyer should never assume that a leaf powder is a 95% steviol glycoside extract, or that the two products can be substituted gram for gram.
For food and beverage applications, confirm the ingredient identity, composition, processing form and regulatory status for the destination market. Permitted uses and conditions can vary by jurisdiction and by the specific steviol glycoside preparation.
Quick Facts
- Botanical identity: Stevia rebaudiana.
- Plant part: Leaves are the usual botanical source.
- Key compounds: Steviol glycosides contribute to the sweet taste.
- Product distinction: Leaf powder is not the same as purified steviol glycoside extract.
- Potential applications: Selected food and beverage formulations, subject to regulatory requirements.
- Storage: Keep sealed, dry and protected from heat and moisture; follow package directions.
These are general botanical facts, not a batch specification or confirmation of regulatory approval for a particular product.
How to Use
It can be incorporated into a range of food and beverage preparations where its tart flavour fits the recipe. Always follow the serving or usage guidance on the package. For business use, evaluate flavour, dispersibility and compatibility with your own formulation before committing to larger production quantities.
Stevia Powder with Water
Mix the label-recommended quantity into water and stir or blend thoroughly. Its sour taste will remain noticeable, so adjust the recipe according to taste while staying within the product’s usage guidance.
In Smoothies
Add to a smoothie containing fruit, yogurt, milk or a suitable plant-based beverage. The other ingredients can balance the tartness, although the final flavour depends on the amount added and the recipe.
With Juice
It can be mixed into suitable fruit or vegetable juice. Blend or stir well so the powder is distributed through the drink. Check the texture and flavour before preparing a larger quantity.
With Yogurt
A small, label-guided amount can be stirred into plain yogurt or another suitable yogurt-based preparation. Its tangy flavour may complement milder ingredients, depending on personal preference.
In Homemade Recipes
Use stevia powder in recipes where a sour fruit ingredient makes sense. Test the recipe first because stevia’s distinct taste can change the overall balance of sweet, sour and savoury ingredients.
For Food Formulation
Food businesses can assess stevia powder for suitable product concepts. Confirm the ingredient declaration, technical parameters, application requirements and relevant regulatory obligations for the final product.
Taste, Handling and Storage
The characteristic taste of stevia powder is sour and tangy, with a slightly astringent finish. This profile makes it different from sweeter fruit powders and should be considered during recipe development. The amount used, the other ingredients and the preparation method all influence the final result. When developing a beverage, snack or other food product, prepare a small test batch and record the quantity used so the recipe can be repeated consistently.
For storage, keep the product in its original, properly sealed package or another suitable airtight food container, following the directions on the label. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Use a clean, dry spoon and avoid letting water enter the pack. Moisture exposure and unsuitable storage can affect the quality of powdered ingredients.
Always check the best-before or expiry information printed on the product packaging. The actual shelf life should be taken from the product label or current supplier documentation, not assumed from a general description. If the package is damaged, the powder has been exposed to moisture, or its appearance or smell seems unusual, do not rely on this general page to determine whether it remains suitable for use; contact the supplier for guidance.
Choosing Stevia Powder for Your Requirement
Before buying stevia powder, consider how you plan to use it. A household buyer may focus on pack size, instructions and flavour. A food manufacturer or distributor may need more detail, including ingredient information, technical specifications, packaging formats, sample availability and batch documentation. The relevant requirements depend on the product’s intended use and the buyer’s own quality process.
Do not assume that every supplier offers the same particle size, moisture level, packaging or laboratory profile. If a particular specification is important to your recipe or production line, ask Meerico to confirm it in writing before ordering. For a commercial trial, agree on the quantity, packaging, destination and any documents needed so the quotation can reflect the actual requirement.
