Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Have any of you heard about Stevia? It's a plant that when you taste it, tastes sweeter than sugar! It's pretty amazing. I found this website about it, it seems due to the sweetener industry, the FDA has put quite a restriction on it. But, you can buy the plants and grow them here. A friend of mine has one and I tasted one of its leaves. Amazing! http://www.stevia.net/ Denise PS I prefer just plain ol' sugar or raw sugar. I don't eat a lot of sweets but if it's something that I'm making I know what's in it! , GeminiDragon <thelilacflower> wrote: > A few diabetics I know like the flavor better than sweet n' low but I use sugar (brown or turbinado usually) myself. I've seen recipes calling for Splenda and the packets have but a sprinkle in them. Looks like you would have to buy 2 boxes each time you use it for baking. I don't know much about it either Jenni.............Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
