stevia

[Guest guest]

Whole Foods near me has a nice potted stevia plant and I always pull off a few

leaves to eat. They taste so good. I have never used it and have no experience

in cooking with it at all. I know I've seen stevia recipe books out there.

Marie,

 

The FDA did not exactly approve stevia in the US. For many years it was

banned. You can get it in the US but you cannot sell or buy it as a sweetener.

It's a kind of technicality. It can be sold as a food supplement but cannot be

sold as anything associated with sweetness because that would put it in the

category as a food additive.

Re: CHRISTIE - RE: stevia

 

Thanks for the link Christie,

 

I have read the info on the site. I wonder why the EU hasn't approved

stevia

yet the FDA in US has done so.

 

Thanks again,

 

Marie
