Is Stevia Keto Friendly?

Stevia is very keto-friendly. You'll find it in many keto dessert recipes. It's generally the most popular keto-friendly sweetener in the keto community.

A naturally-occurring sweetener extracted from the stevia rebaudiana plant, stevia is zero carb, zero calories, and has a glycemic index of zero.

Stevia's only downside is that some people report a negative aftertaste, but you can mitigate this by blending it with another keto-friendly sweetener, such as erythritol.

Fun fact: People have been using stevia as a sweetener for more than a thousand years. The Guaraní people, indigenous to what is now Paraguay, referred to the plant as "sweet herb" and soaked it in boiling water to make tea.
