Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Molasses, raw organic honey (this means non-pasturized or unheated), molasses sugar or any unrefined sugars which are very dark in color.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Stevia comes in either liquid form OR in crystallized form (usually with maltodextrin for flaking). The aftertaste is a little funny, but it does a great job of sweetening things. A little does go a long way, though, since it's many times sweeter than sugar. As long as you don't use too much, the aftertaste SHOULDN'T be much of a problem. Bonus if you mix other things in like cinnamon. Stevia is VERY VERY safe, you can't overdose on it, and it has no artificial anything, nor does it add any calories or carbs or anything, so it is quite safe for diabetics. I do know that it does NOT carmelize during baking like sugar does, so the consistency may not be the same. Do not substitute stevia for sugar on a 1:1 ratio, however. There are a few stevia cookbooks around that have lots of recipes that might help. It does have a different taste to it, tho, so do keep an open mind. Also, I've seen different nectars (for example, agave nectar--both lighter and darker colors--and others) at Whole Foods, does anyone know how these work, how to use them in cooking, the difference between the two types, etc? herbal remedies , Persian <persian13@i...> wrote: > > On Mon, Dec 01, 2003 at 08:11:44 +0100, Don Quai wrote: > > Molasses, raw organic honey (this means non-pasturized or unheated), > > molasses sugar or any unrefined sugars which are very dark in color.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 If you get it in the white powder form the after taste isn't so bad. the only problem when you cook with it is the volume problem. 1/8 a tsp will sweeten as well as 1 cup of sugar but then the consistency is off.

Stevia is a plant. The bulk herb bins in a health food store usually carry Stevia. Ours has Organic Stevia in a powder to sweeten most anything and a cut leaf for teas. If you don't have a health food store nearby tell me where you live and I can better advise you as to where you can find it. Don't buy the white, processed Stevia or Stevia liquid. They are nasty. They don't mix into a hot beverage and they have a bad after taste. Growing your own plants is the most fun. I have some and love them.

I have gotten Stevia plants from Home Depot in the herb section on occassion. I got some more at a local Botanical Garden plant sale. And still others were purchased on line. You can even find organically grown Stevia plants on line. As I recall they cost $3 or $4 for each plant plus shipping and handling. Finding them locally is the more economical. If you have an Extension Service/ Botanical Garden in you city or town, they could most likely direct you. Once you get them growing in a place they like, you'll have all you need as they spread and come back each year.
