It All Started With a Leaf
It took a single plant to help the idea of a healthy alternative sweetener company to grow.
At our core, we’re a family. A family dedicated to helping other families and individuals live a healthier life. We’re dedicated to the same things that made us proud of our company when it began back in 1982. We believe in quality products filled with only the good stuff. We’re committed to helping people (like you) find a way to sweeten up their favorite recipes without the downsides associated with processed sugar. We offer liquid, granular and powdered stevia and monk fruit products in a variety of flavors you can’t help but enjoy. And above all, we’re here to be your partner in forging a healthy lifestyle, making choices that make you feel good and turning over a new leaf.
A Legacy of Sweetness
When we say it started with a leaf, we aren’t kidding. SweetLeaf® founder James May was first introduced to the stevia leaf while spending time in Paraguay. As he began learning about this little leaf, he imagined a world where sugar could be naturally replaced. This of course, was no small dream, but like all dreamers, James believed anything was possible. Looking back, we’re proud to say he was right.
Fast forward and you could find James and his family packaging and labeling herbs in their garage. James would then set out to persuade local health food stores to carry the May family stevia products by transporting them in the back of the family car. As he worked to make his dream a reality, James overcame many obstacles because he knew his mission of bringing alternative sweeteners to the masses was an important one.
These days, we’re pleased to say his hard work paid off. In fact, it’s more alive than ever. SweetLeaf® is now an award-winning stevia company year over year and with the introduction of our monk fruit products in 2020, our impact on the alternative sweetener market is growing. SweetLeaf® was the first stevia manufacturer to be FDA approved in the USA and we boast the number one market share in health food stores across the nation. All along the way, we’ve been thankful for our customers, folks like you who purchase our products, tell your friends about them, and help us continue our mission of bringing healthier choices to the world.
