The sweetener contains steviol glucosides comprising β-1,4-galactosyl rebaudioside A having one to three β-1,4-bonded galactosyl groups in a molecule and rebaudioside A, wherein the following expressions (1) and (2) are satisfied:in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?[(GRA+RA)/(X)]≧0.4 (1)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="lead"?[(GRA)/(RA)]≧1.0 (2)in-line-formulae description="In-line Formulae" end="tail"?wherein GRA represents the weight percentage of the β-1,4-galactosyl rebaudioside A having one to three β-1,4-bonded galactosyl groups in a molecule, RA represents the weight percentage of the rebaudioside A, and X represents the weight percentage of the steviol glucosides.
