Its the calorie-free sweetener that makes diabetics and dieters rejoice! Commercial extracts remove much of the goodness, only leaving the sweetness, but you can use Stevia leaves to sweeten dishes or make your own, whole-plant extract at home. As a short-lived perennial, youll find that the seeds rarely germinate very evenly, but patience is rewarded. Protect the plant against winter chills in colder areas. Feel like something sweet? Stevia has what you want.
