Sweetleaf (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni), currently investigated by many researchers, has been known and used for more than a thousand years indigenous tribes of South America, who called it "kaa-hee" ("sweet herb"). Thanks to its chemical composition and processability sweetleaf may be an alternative for synthetic sweeteners. Nutritional and health-promoting aspects of Stevia rebaudiana are presently being studied in many research centres. The aim of this study is to present nutritional and health-promoting value of the still-little known sweetleaf.
甜叶菊（Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni）目前正受到众多研究人员的关注，在南美洲的土著部落中，人们认识并使用它已有一千多年，他们称其为“kaa-hee”（“甜草”）。由于其化学成分和可加工性，甜叶菊可能成为合成甜味剂的替代品。目前，许多研究中心正在研究甜叶菊的营养和促进健康方面。本研究的目的是展示这种鲜为人知的甜叶菊的营养和促进健康价值。
