Stevia compositions are prepared from steviol glycosides of Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni. The compositions are able to provide a superior taste profile and can be used as sweetness enhancers, flavor enhancers and sweeteners in foods, beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

A bran-tea system for consumption of a non-alcoholic beverage whenever an alcoholic beverage is desired. The bran-tea system permits an individual the ability to experience the taste of an alcoholic brandy tea mixture without the effects caused by alcohol. The bran-tea system uses a mixture of chamomile, honey, and a non-alcoholic brandy flavoring to achieve the taste of a hot brandy drink. The bran-tea mixture taste increases in strength the longer the tea is allowed to steep in a teacup with heated water.

A fasting mimicking diet package providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal portions for consumption during a one-day or single day fast.

The FMD package includes a breakfast meal portion having a first nut-containing nutrition bar composition, a micronutritional vegetable powder composition including vitamin and mineral supplements, an algal oil composition, a lunch meal portion that incorporates a first soup composition and a kale cracker composition, and a dinner meal portion having a second soup composition, one of either the kale cracker composition or an olive containing composition, and a second nut containing nutrition bar composition.

A beverage brewing product for brewing a sweetened beverage is disclosed which produces a sweetened beverage solution that can be mixed with a diluting liquid and which comprises at least one water permeable sieve wherein beverage material and granulated sweetener are contained. The beverage material and sweetener are brewed and dissolved during steeping in hot water to produce a sweetened beverage solution. The beverage solution, if concentrated, is then mixed with a proportioned amount of diluting liquid to make a consistently sweet beverage. This beverage brewing product may be used to produce a variety of consistently sweetened beverages, including tea, coffee, lemonade, and other sweetened beverages.

A cooling agent composition includes a methyl menthol derivative represented by the following general formula (1). In the formula (1), a symbol * indicates an asymmetric carbon atom, X represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, and Y represents an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms which may have a substituent. ##STR00001##

A Stevia extract comprises one or more Stevia-derived non-steviol glycoside substances and/or one or more non-volatile non-steviol glycoside substances. The Stevia extract may be used as a sweetener or a flavorant in an orally consumable product.

A beverage product includes a mixture having a dissolved oxygen content of less than 500 parts per billion, the mixture including tea flavor, hops flavor, and water. The beverage product further includes a container holding the mixture, the container being sealed to prevent the introduction of dissolved oxygen, a headspace of the container including inert gas.

Water-soluble formulations including cannabinoids or a cannabis-derived compound for use in beverages and foods, methods of preparing the formulations, and methods of preparing beverages and foods including the formulations are disclosed herein.
