Comparing:
Raw Honey (Pure Unfiltered)
Stevia Extract (Rebaudioside A 98%)
Raw honey is enzymatic floral nectar concentrated by honeybees (Apis mellifera). Per 100g, it provides 304 kcal, 82.4g carbohydrates (38.2% fructose, 31.3% glucose, 7.1% maltose/sucrose), 0.3g protein, 17.1g water, and a glycemic index of 58.
High-purity Stevia extract is a non-caloric steviol glycoside isolated from Stevia rebaudiana. It is 250–350 times sweeter than sucrose with zero calories, zero glycemic impact, and heat stability up to 200°C.
