What is OnoSweet®?

OnoSweet® is our premium Reb M produced by fermentation using rice‑sourced ingredients. Instead of extracting mixed glycosides from stevia leaves, we ask non‑GMO fermentation microbes to make the one we want – Reb M – which most tasters experience as closer to sugar in onset, body and finish.

• Stevia‑free – Reb M, not from stevia leaves
• Rice‑sourced ingredients – consistent substrate and supply
• Non‑GMO Project Verified – plus non‑GMO microbes
• Zero glycemic response – sweetness without calories
• Application‑ready – beverages, powders, gummies and more

Why OnoSweet® Tastes Different

• Stevia‑based sweeteners can read sharp or licorice‑like at scale
• Sugarcane/corn-based sweeteners can feel thin or metallic in finish
• OnoSweet® (Reb M from rice) starts clean, builds steadily, and finishes rich with no bitterness – the more OnoSweet® you add the sweeter it becomes!

Where OnoSweet® Excels

• Protein powders (whey or plant) – smoother finish; less stacking with inherent protein notes
• Hydration and other acidified drinks – clean curve alongside acids and electrolytes
• RTDs, functional coffee/tea – fewer interactions that exaggerate harshness
• Gummies and soft chews – round sweetness that balances well with organic acids

Formulation tip: OnoSweet® typically scales without the peaks‑then‑plateau effect common to some systems.

Labeling & Clean-Label Cues

• Stevia‑free – accurate, consumer‑friendly shorthand
• Non‑GMO Project Verified – verification for the ingredient
• Rice‑sourced ingredients
• Natural? In many markets, fermentation‑derived Reb M is classified as natural when produced with food‑grade processes and substrates. Check local regulations for claim language.
