Gilbert, AZ (11/21/11) –A sweet new product from Wisdom Natural Brands ® has hit store shelves. SugarLeaf™ is an all-new, 100% natural lowcalorie sweetener great for baking and cooking, aimed at meeting the demands of increasingly health-conscious consumers who want to reduce sugar in their food and beverages without sacrificing taste or texture. Made by bonding SweetLeaf Stevia ® and raw cane sugar, SugarLeaf offers the delightfully sweet taste and browning and bulking qualities of sugar, but has two-thirds fewer calories and carbohydrates than sugar. SugarLeaf debuted at Whole Foods Markets in August and is now also available in select natural foods stores and conventional grocery stores across the country or online at www.buywisdom.com.
SugarLeaf lets anyone – from at-home bakers to professional chefs – whip up naturally sweet creations with the traditional taste and browning characteristics of sugar while simultaneously reducing calories and carbohydrates. While all-natural SugarLeaf contains two-thirds fewer calories and carbs than sugar, it is three times as sweet as sugar, meaning less is used per recipe.
The new sweetener is made by bonding SweetLeaf Stevia, which uses a water-only extraction process, to the sugar molecules. No other ingredients are added. The result is an all-natural sweetener, with no chemicals and no genetically modified organisms – nothing artificial. It’s free of erythritol, other sugar alcohols and maltodextrin.
SugarLeaf, from the makers of SweetLeaf Stevia ® Sweetener is now available in one-pound bags.

About SweetLeaf Stevia® Sweetener
It all started with one man who had a dream – James May, Founder and CEO of Wisdom Natural Brands®. Stevia is a naturally sweet herb native to Paraguay that has been consumed for centuries. After tasting stevia leaves given to him by a Peace Corps worker, May made it his mission to bring the extract from the deliciously sweet plant to the United States. May is now world known as “The Father of Stevia.”
May’s perseverance and dedication to bringing stevia to the U.S. ultimately resulted in SweetLeaf Stevia® Sweetener, a 100% natural sweetener with zero calories, zero-carbohydrates, zero-glycemic index, and zero chemicals. Only cool, purified water and high-grade stevia leaves are used in its “green” processing. SweetLeaf® is the 2010-2011 Global Stevia Products Award winner for taste, technology and sustainability.
In March 2011, The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) awarded James May the 2011 AHPA Visionary Award, in recognition of unwavering, persistent dedication in the advancement of all-natural stevia. May was also was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award by Stevia World International in June 2010. Today, May is a leading expert on stevia and travels across the world promoting the benefits of the stevia plant.
