Heartland Food Products Group, maker of SPLENDA® Sweeteners, introduces SPLENDA® Naturals Stevia Sweetener. SPLENDA®Naturals Stevia Sweetener gets its unique sweetness directly from a better tasting part of the stevia leaf. Until now, most consumers have only tasted sweeteners made with a stevia extract called Reb A, but by unlocking the sweetness found in Reb D, SPLENDA® Brand has found a perfect blend that tastes great, with no bitter aftertaste.
