Alternative sweeteners have seen an enormous demand growth in just over the last 20 years, increasing 832%, with 300% growth in the prevalence of products in the last five years alone. While it can be challenging to know what exactly qualifies as an ‘alternative sweetener’ because of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, few brands ensure that their customers are only getting the best. Manufacturers, suppliers, and research and developers are just the start of those benefiting from this cost-saving sweetener solution thanks to NURA USA. NURA is committed to providing the highest quality ingredients to the natural food and beverage industry, taking things one step further with its unique Stevia Leaf Extract Blend, (MADBLEND™). 

MADBLEND™ is a high-purity blend of Rebaudioside A, D, and M, creating the perfect balance of sweetness without the bitter aftertaste. Their blend provides an alternative sweetener that replaces other sugars or artificial sweeteners in baked goods, beverages, dairy (or non-dairy) items, frozen treats, and more. It is an optimal choice for a wide variety of products, as it is pH-stable and highly soluble in both food and beverage applications. Not only is it high quality, but even with stevia as an ingredient, it still maintains its natural-sugar taste while providing 250-300x the sweetness of regular cane sugar.  

Their stevia blend also exceeds the dietary demands of most natural food and beverage companies as a vegan, non-GMO, kosher, halal, allergen-free, and gluten-free product, and they offer options for those who prefer organic products.  

Several consumer product goods (CPG) companies are currently dealing with inflated costs, such as Monk Fruit, making NURA’s blend an excellent alternative solution for those looking to cut costs without compromising quality or ingredients. As inflation costs rose in 2022, Monk Fruit was a significant blowback for the supply and manufacturing industry. According to NURA, the estimated cost for one kilogram of conventional Monk Fruit is between $350 and $400. Because of the inflation, buyers have had to find alternatives, including other alternative sweeteners and increasing their sugar to alternative sweetener ratios-entirely changing these components of their recipes (and consumers are noticing the difference). MADBLEND™ Stevia Leaf Extract Blend is a great alternative as it’s easy to formulate and can cut costs up to 50%.
