Why Dilute Stevia Extract?
Pure Stevia extract is often extremely potent. Such high
potency can make accurate measurements very difficult.
We recommend adding a one ounce container of Pure
Powder Stevia (NuNaturals) with Organic Agave Inulin to
make what we call “spoonable stevia”. See Mixing instructions for Stevia/Inulin in the box on the back of this
sheet. Both products can be used alone or as a blended
sweetener and are available at www.wholeapproach.com.
What is Stevia?
Stevia leaves, which are 30 times sweeter than sugar but
contain no calories, have been used as a sweetener in
Paraguay for over 1500 years. In 1931, two French chemists named Bridel and Lavieille began extraction of Stevia
leaves. They found a pure, white crystalline compound
they named “Stevioside”. This substance was 200-300
times sweeter than white sugar, without any toxicity.
In all of its current forms, Stevia has a taste unique to
itself. Along with its sweetness, there is also a bitter after
-taste. However, this bitter flavor is diminished in leaf
extraction where the woody parts of the plant are not
extracted and when the product is appropriately diluted,
in proper proportions, in fiber or water prior to use.
Stevia does not feed yeast or candida and should be a
natural sweetener of choice when dealing with parasites,
fungal infections and conditions where the use of sugars
are not recommended. It has a slight licorice-like flavor
and for some people who only like the taste of real sugar it
may take a little getting used to. Since Stevia has such important medicinal value, it is well worth learning to love.
Organic Agave Inulin Powder
Prebiotics are a special class of sweet-tasting fibers which
can be used as a healthy alternative to sugar sweeteners. In
addition to the valuable fiber, prebiotics have therapeutic
benefits as well. By providing food for beneficial intestinal
microbials such as bifidus and lactobacillus, prebiotics boost
digestive, immune and colon health. The sweet taste in the
fiber comes from inulin and oligosaccharides, which are
complex, indigestible sugars. Inulin and oligosaccharides are
also found in more common foods such as chicory root,
wheat, banana, onion, and garlic. Being indigestible, they
have almost no real caloric value nor do they raise blood
glucose or require insulin for assimilation. Prebiotic sweeteners are excellent for people with candida over-growth or
diabetes.
Using Agave Inulin Powder
Certified-Organic Agave Inulin Powder from Foundation
SuperFoods has a clean, neutral flavor and is an almost calorie-free sweetener that can replace sugar in baking. For soft
baked goods it also acts like a humectant (to hold moisture.) The substitution of agave powder for sugar replaces
its bulk and texture while adding fiber to foods. This lowers
the caloric value as well as the glycemic index (the speed at
which the energy is released.)

Source and Processing
Most prebiotic inulin blends are usually synthesized from
sucrose or extracted from chicory root by industrial process.
The Foundation SuperFood brand prebiotic is a certified
organic, raw agave inulin powder extracted from the leaves of
the Blue Agave Tequilana Weber plant from Tequila, Mexico.
Only the highest quality, carefully ripened plants are used.
The agave cacti are grown with first rate organic farming and
harvesting methods.
First, the “pina” or core of the leaf is crushed and milled. The
resulting fluid is treated with a proprietary natural process
that deactivates specific enzymes to prevent fermentation.
From here, a high velocity centrifugal juicer extracts the
agave nectar at low temperatures with a process that is free
of acids or enzymes. This extract process is designed to be
gentle enough to preserve all of the natural benefits of the
raw, fresh plant.
Bacteria do not thrive in the juice of the Blue Agave
Tequilana so it does not need to be pasteurized or sterilized,
nor additives used. Instead, the separation is strategically
timed in a way that maintains its purity while stimulating the
development of the desirable complex sugars. Agave Inulin
Powder is made by filtering the nectar through a fine mesh to
capture the inulin fiber, which is then sun dried.
Health Research
Prebiotics have attracted a lot of clinical attention as recent
studies suggest they can enhance immunity, increase bone
health and promote the absorption of calcium and
magnesium. The National Cancer Institute of the US National
Institutes of Health has also been studying the possible role of
prebiotics in the prevention of colon cancer. The observed
benefits to the colon appear to be due to the stimulation of
bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria are known to out-compete
harmful bacteria, stimulate the immune system and increase
the synthesis of dietary vitamin B.
How can I use
Organic Agave
Inulin Powder?
In a glass Jar, simply add 1oz NuNaturals pure stevia powder
to 250 – 500 grams of Organic Agave Inulin Powder
(depending on the concentration desired). Stir thoroughly
and then close the lid and shake vigorously to blend the mixture evenly. When the Stevia is added to 250 grams of Organic Agave Inulin, it is diluted approximately 10 times. The
mixture is easy to sprinkle, mix, and add to recipes. The
Stevina/Inulin mixtures does not require refrigeration, alcohol
or preservatives. The mixture is still a concentrate… use
approximately one teaspoon of stevia/inulin mix in place of
one cup of sugar in your favorite recipes.
*Storage Tip: Keep in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid**
Agave Inulin Powder can also be used to increase the crispness of
low-fat cookies or to add a fat-like texture to table spreads. It provides binding for granola bars or cookies, raw puddings, smoothies
and drinks also taste great with agave powder. Its well-rounded
sweet flavor is helpful for diluting and balancing out the sweet flavor
of stevia or other concentrated sweeteners. It’s easily soluble in cold
water and can be added to almost any recipe, raw or cooked, liquid
or solid. For a sugar-like ‘spoonable stevia,’ it can be mixed with a
container of NuNaturals Pure White Stevia Powder. Overall it is an
amazingly versatile ingredient.

The British Journal of Nutrition reported that rats fed probiotics had a
33% longer lifespan than the control group. This suggests the profound
importance of colon health to well being. The prebiotics were also found to
reduce cholesterol, triglycerides, and body weight. The man-made
commercial prebiotic blend used in the study was a blend of oligofructose
and inulin.

A recent study from Reading University and the National
Autonomous University of Mexico found that agave powder,
with it’s naturally occurring complex of inulin and oligofructose,
has precisely the same prebiotic properties as the manmade
blend reported by the British Journal of Nutrition. The report
verified that inulin extracted from Agave tequilana also
boosted the numbers of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Unlike
the highly processed, and synthesized commercial prebiotics,
Agave Inulin Powder is a naturally-occurring, gently-extracted
product that is sourced from an ecologically grown plant.
