PH’s 1st Stevia grower-manufacturer bullish on financial outlook despite the Pandemic

Glorious, popularly known as the country’s first Stevia company, is positive on its outlook despite almost 2-years in the pandemic as more and more people turn to healthier alternatives, sales of stevia products continue to grow.

According to agribusiness finance giant Rabobank, Stevia's sales are expected to hit $700 million worldwide in the next few years.

Consumers in the Philippines can now get their calorie-free sugar needs from natural alternatives. Before, stevia was restricted to the health food market without any FDA approval. Recently, it is now widely used as a natural substitute for artificial sweeteners in many products.

"Stevia has been touted as a safe and healthy sugar substitute with proven health benefits. It can sweeten foods, and it has several health benefits, including decreased calorie intake, lower blood sugar levels, and less risk of cavities," -  Maura De Leon, the woman behind Glorious, the country’s first stevia grower and manufacturer.

While it has zero calories, stevia is 200 times sweeter than refined sugar and does not affect blood sugar. It is a popular option for people looking to lose weight but who want to reduce their sugar intake.

Stevia is an herb that has been grown in tropical climates for centuries. It is a small bushy plant that belongs to the sunflower family and grows in Paraguay and Brazil, but it can be quickly grown elsewhere. For centuries, the people of Paraguay add them to their foods as sweeteners, and countries like Korea, Brazil, China, Japan, and South America, have long used stevia.

Stevia products such as teas, juices, healthy coffees, chocolate beverages and natural sweeteners, manufactured by Glorious, are approved safe by the Food and Drug Association (FDA) even for people who have diabetes.

"Stevia is much sweeter than sugar, so you don't have to add much. It’s good to note that the Philippines is also catching up on the use of this natural sweetener in various food preparations," added De Leon.

Stevia is a natural sweetener taken from the leaves of a bushy shrub. The Stevia plant or (Stevia rebaudiana) has 150 species known to have originated from North and South America. Currently, it is produced by lots of countries, with China as the number one exporter of stevia products, and can be purchased at garden centers for home growing.

People who have diabetes can benefit from stevia. Choosing pure stevia extract can help maintain normal blood sugar levels and should be used in moderation. Stevia can also help cut down added sugar consumption, which can be beneficial for children. High sugar intake in children could lead to heart disease due to reconstructing triglyceride and cholesterol levels, contributing to children's weight gain. Substituting added sugar for stevia can minimize these risks. At the same time, moderate consumption of foods with stevia and other sweeteners can prevent adverse side effects and promote overall health.

What’s even better is that you can add Stevia to make healthy desserts which are diabetic and keto friendly. This is great for people who have a sweet tooth but can’t indulge because of health restrictions.

Incidentally, all Glorious Blend beverages — from the 3-in-1, 5-in-1, 7-in-1 mixes, use Stevia which has no calories, no carbohydrates, and zero glycemic index. All of their instant drinks will keep you alert and energized throughout the day.

Acculab MNL Opens its Doors in Manila: Accurate, Consistent and Efficient Testing is now Available!

As the COVID-19 pandemic virus continues its onslaught worldwide, infections have spread rapidly over the world populace, leaving a trail of devastation in both social and commercial fronts.

Due to the increase in COVID cases in the Philippines, the lack of medical and testing capacity, and as the period of uncertainty lingers while we wait for the development of a working vaccine, AccuLab MNL, a privately-owned swabbing facility for personal and occupational COVID-19 testing and certification officially opened last Thursday.

Hon. Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso graced the Grand Launch and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony last Oct 22, 2020. In support of Manila government’s action plan dubbed as CODE-COVID-19 (Contain and Delay), 200 Antigen Rapid Testing Kits were donated to the Hon. Mayor that same day. Mayor Isko, who’s celebrating his birthday personally received the gift vouchers.

AccuLab MNL is a team of professional and highly-trained swabbers consisting of medical technologists and nurses operating at the highest standards and is committed to providing efficient and accurate testing with fast and reliable turnaround times. AccuLab MNL also provides home and office swabbing services to patients so that coronavirus swab testing can be done to those who need to travel or work.

AccuLab MNL’s swab test ranges from 4,500.00 to 11,500.00 depending on the turnaround time for results. AccuLab MNL’s also offers Antigen Rapid Testing at a very low price of P1,400. We accept walk-in, drive-through and remote collection.

AccuLab MNL mainly offers the gold standard in coronavirus testing, the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This is a highly technical process that not only involves having the right machine and kits, but also the proper safety infrastructure, like a biosafety level 2 (BSL2) laboratory. 

This is why, AccuLab MNL partnered with PHILIPPINE AIRPORT DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY, a duly licensed and DOH-accredited molecular diagnostic testing facilities, also considered as one of the early responders to the government’s call for unity in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quarantine Finds: Ian's Kitchen Food Services (Plus Baked Mac and Buffalo Wings Review)

This behavior-altering COVID-19 pandemic has made me realize the benefits and advantages of delivery services for other food options while dealing with this once-in-a-generation global pandemic.

I've tried some of the popular delivery services that provide the usual and most of the time, if not all, I end up ordering fast food meals. If I wanted a meal that is not categorized as fast food (my cooking skills are nonexistent), I need to pay more than the usual.

Growing tired of the usual food delivery option, I came across a post of Ian's Kitchen. The post Immediately caught my attention. I then decided to try out their Baked Mac (8x8 tray for Php320.00) and Buffalo Wings (6 pcs. for Php120.00). My transaction was smooth. I let them know my order, paid online and then agreed on the delivery time the following day.

Yes, Ian's Kitchen is a food service that accepts pre-orders for next day delivery. This convinced me that the food that I ordered should be good.

My order came the next day, fresh from the oven (still hot when it was handed to me). I wasted no time trying out the dish and scooped out a portion of the fresh from the oven Baked Mac.

When I took my first bite, I was convinced that my order is worth the wait. The dish is BEEFY, CHEESY and CREAMY. Honestly, exceeded my expectations. Melt in your mouth goodness of the cheese, Macaroni is al dente, and as stated very creamy. These is the perfect combination for a perfect Baked Mac.

It may have taken a while to get to my mouth, but I think I've found the best Baked Mac! 

After that experience, I went ahead and tried the Buffalo Wings. Well cooked and flavorful, the ranch dip goes well with the wings. This seemed a perfect compliment to the Baked Mac meal that I am having that time.

My first experience with Ian's Kitchen is very good and I would like to try other items next time. I highly recommend this and hope that you give it a try as well. Here is Ian's Kitchen delivery MENU (as of 07 July 2020):
