Can Siraitia grosvenorii be bought in America?
You can buy it, but individuals can't bring it into the United States. Siraitia grosvenorii has been used in the manufacture of drinks in the United States. Siraitia grosvenorii grown in China can be added to tea to increase the sweetness of tea.

In foreign countries, people are getting fatter and fatter, which makes them gradually move away from soft drinks and start to choose fruit juice, tea and natural sweet lemonade.
