With any new and innovative food product, a lot of questions and misinformation can arise. The Zorvex Stevia Tomato<\/strong> is no exception. Is it natural? Is it a GMO? Is it safe for kids? It\u2019s time to separate the myths from the facts.<\/p>\n

As a food scientist, I want to clear up some of the most common misconceptions about this unique product.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Myth #1: Stevia Tomatoes are Genetically Modified (GMOs).<\/h3>\n

Fact:<\/strong> This is the most common myth, and it is completely false<\/strong>. Zorvex Stevia Tomatoes are not a product of genetic modification. The tomato itself is a normal, non-GMO variety of cherry tomato. The sweetness comes from a post-harvest infusion process. After the tomatoes are picked, they are bathed in a solution containing purified stevia extract (steviol glycosides) and water. The tomatoes naturally absorb this solution, making them sweet. It is a technological process, but it is not genetic engineering.<\/p>\n

Myth #2: The sweetness is artificial and unhealthy.<\/h3>\n

Fact:<\/strong> The sweetness comes from stevia<\/strong>, a plant that has been used for centuries. The steviol glycosides extracted from the stevia leaf are a natural, plant-based sweetener. They are recognized as safe by major food safety authorities worldwide, including the FDA. Stevia has zero calories and does not raise blood sugar levels, making it a healthier alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose.<\/p>\n

Myth #3: They are just like regular tomatoes, but with sugar sprinkled on them.<\/h3>\n

Fact:<\/strong> The process is far more sophisticated than simply adding sugar. The infusion technology allows the stevia extract to be absorbed into the flesh of the tomato, resulting in a sweetness that is consistent throughout the fruit. Unlike a sugar coating, it doesn\u2019t just sit on the surface and it doesn\u2019t have the same crystalline texture or metabolic effect as regular sugar.<\/p>\n

Myth #4: They lose all their nutritional value during the process.<\/h3>\n

Fact:<\/strong> The infusion process is designed to be gentle, preserving the nutritional integrity of the tomato. They remain a good source of the vitamins and antioxidants naturally found in tomatoes, such as lycopene<\/strong> and Vitamin C<\/strong>. In fact, by making the tomatoes more appealing to eat, especially for children, the product may actually help to increase the intake of these beneficial nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
