Heirloom Herbs - Stevia

(Stevia rebaudiana)

A prized addition to the herb garden, this heirloom variety is the authentic, native South American "sugar leaf." These perennial plants produce lush green foliage containing a natural sweetness up to 30 times more potent than cane sugar, yet with zero calories and no glycemic impact. Float the fresh leaves in hot or iced teas, or dry and grind them into a fine powder for use in baking or sprinkling over fresh fruit.
