Stevia
Stevia rebaudiana
Remarkable sugar substitute! The leaves of this 'Sweet Herb' are 20-30 times sweeter than cane sugar, yet considered safe for sugar restricted diets. Stevia is used extensively in Japan to sweeten sugar-free products, as a safe alternative to artificial sweeteners. Leaf powder can be used in baked goods, preserves and drinks. Whole leaves can be used in salads and in cooking. Can be overwintered indoors. Grows 24" high.
