Scarcity of sugar? Use Stevia to sweeten your life!

For the past few months, there has been a shortage of sugar throughout the nation, driving up sugar prices. The increase in price of this household item has a negative impact on the purchasing power of Filipinos, who already struggle to keep up with inflation. Given that most foods contain sugar as a primary element, many people have fought to make their lives and food sweeter.

Fortunately, there is a nutritious substitute that might help Filipinos overcome their sugar problems. The leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant are used to make stevia, a natural sweetener. Despite having zero calories and being 300 times sweeter than sugar, it does not raise blood sugar levels. Because it has no aftertaste or potential health hazards, it is preferable than chemical-based artificial sweeteners.

With the help of this magical plant, you may enrich food while cooking, sweeten hot and cold beverages guilt-free, and bake. The beautiful thing about Stevia is that it naturally sweetens food and beverages, unlike sugar, which has been linked to diabetes and obesity. Additionally, Stevia is regarded as nonglycemic, which means it has no impact on blood pressure levels.

Given these health benefits, swapping Stevia with refined sugar can be a complete game changer for people who want to make healthier food and beverage choices and maintain a healthy weight range.

Understanding Stevia’s potential to address Filipinos’ sugary dilemma, Glorious Industrial & Development Corporation (GIDC), also known as the Stevia Company, launched a lineup of naturally-sweetened and healthy beverages. GIDC, the Stevia Company’s line-up of products under its Glorious brand, includes the Glorious 3in1 Premium Coffee and Glorious Iced Tea Mixes and the Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea.

“We understand how important sweetness is to Filipinos’ taste palette,” said Ms. Au De Leon, president, and CEO of GIDC, The Stevia Company. “By making Glorious available nationwide, we want to empower more Filipinos to discover a healthier way to make their lives sweeter.”

The company’s latest products are not only good for one’s body, but they taste great too. Hence, people don’t need to sacrifice flavor to care for their health. All Glorious beverages are sweetened with Stevia, and every teaspoon of Stevia is equivalent to three teaspoons of refined sugar.

Glorious Premium 3in1 Coffee Mix is a delicious coffee blend sweetened with Sweet & Fit Stevia. It is recommended for people with sugar-related concerns, weight watchers, and other health-conscious individuals. Sweet & Fit Stevia has zero calories, zero fat, zero sodium, zero carbohydrates, and zero cholesterol.

With Glorious Iced Tea Mixes, people who want to limit their intake of sugar may now make their favorite fruit teas and lives sweeter. Red Berries, Lemon, and Cucumber are the three flavors offered for this product. For a healthy little pick-me-up, Sweet & Fit Stevia Tea can be combined with non-dairy milk or fresh fruits to make different hot or cold beverages.

The main component of any delectable Filipino cuisine has historically been meat.

Mrs. Garcia’s Meats is happy to share the news with its customers as it moves on with its legacy, whether it is by opening new locations in significant supermarkets or by making itself available round-the-clock to convenience stores like Shell Select and 7-Eleven. I’m so excited to the opening of Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop and so happy as well as it offers fresh, high-quality and affordable meat to its customers. It has its prominence of serving delicious meat and it is indeed one of my go to shops.

“Every home has grown to love Mrs. Garcia’s Meats as their companion in making every mealtime special.

All they need to do is to drop by the parking space in front of the store, where friendly staff members are ready to hand them the meat products or help load the items directly into their car.

Meanwhile, as a way of marking this milestone, Mrs. Garcia’s Meatshop will now be open for franchising to provide Filipinos with business and investment options.

I’m truly satisfied and out of words, especially their Salmon Cake. It’s not only amazingly satisfying because of its taste but also because of its creative presentation and designs.

My family also loves Salmon Hq for its high quality products and for its high end taste. My niece even said it’s his new favorite, aside from its attractive colors and it also offers a distinctive flavor and it offers a variety of Sushi bake pans too. My mom also said that the Salmon Cake doesn’t smell fishy, and tastes fresh, which she appreciates. My nephew also added that he likes it and there is spiciness in some of the pieces but it compliments the overall taste. He will surely add it to his new favorites. The presentation definitely stands out! I indulged in these fresh salmon slices, which tasted incredibly well and delicious.

Sushi Bake pans from Salmon HQ are excellent! With ample portions of fish and other seasonings, each gives a distinctive flavor.
