Nature's Sweet Proteins


Nature offers many naturally sweet fruits, roots, saps and stems. For instance, Stevia is extracted from sweet leaves of the stevia plant and Agave nectar is pressed from the roots of this succulent desert plant.

In this article we’ll look at 7 sweet proteins from plants in Malaysia, Africa and China.
