Stevia-1- 4inch pot
Characteristics: Stevia is a member of the sunflower family and typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. It has weak, floppy stems with small, green, elliptical leaves and clusters of tiny white flowers. The leaves contain glycoside compounds that are 200-300 times sweeter by weight than cane sugar.
Culinary Uses: The leaves can be eaten fresh, or dried and ground into a powder to use in coffee, tea, yogurt, cereals, or for baking. Unlike sugar, stevia does not caramelize when heated.
Health Benefits: Stevia is a popular option for those managing diabetes or on a diet because it is calorie-free and has no impact on blood glucose levels.
