Zevia Cola
Sounds like some sort of character from Star Wars, but it?s not, silly Jedi. Zevia contains Stevia also known as sweet leaf. It?s an herb from the rainforest. It?s a natural alternative to sugar and is gaining popularity nationwide. Legally it is not to be used as a food additive, but is approved as a dietary supplement. Companies like Coca-Cola use Stevia in their beverages outside of the USA because of the FDA regulations in America.
Zevia jumped on the bandwagon and use Stevia in their line of healthy, sugar free sodas. Zevia Cola does indeed have the distinct cola flavoring sans the unhealthy artificial ingredients. Zevia’s calorie count is under 5 per serving; thereby Zevia is a satisfactory choice for healthy soda drinkers.
I first read about Zevia from Hungry Girl and she liked it, so maybe you will too. Don?t trust our word; pick up a can for yourself.
Zevia currently has three choices, Cola, Twist (Lemon Lime) and Orange. Come on back for two more reviews. Did I mention Zevia is all gluten free and vegan?

Are there any concerns about sustainability of Zevia? Is the rainforest being harmed by the rate of consumption? Are there measures being taken to sustain the harvest? Just curious. Sounds like an amazing herb.
Although stevia is native to and grows wild in rainforests, it grows in any suitably warm climate. Stevia farmers can be found in South America, Asia ans other places. It would make no environmental or economic sense to harvest from a rainforest when stevia is readily available from farmers.
ok how can we get it in Australia Mike tried Amazon.com and they cannot send it also could we grow it here in temperate zone and if so how do we seeds or seedlings
Wow that is cool that it is gluten free and vegan – as someone with Celiac Disease, I am always excited to see more gluten free products that are made to be healthy. In the past Organic + Gluten Free hardly exsisted.
