Does anyone have any knowledge of the plant Stevia? Is it easy to grow,scource,cultivate or process? I'm reading that it can be used as a substitute for sugar,but is it safe?
Any advice or information from users will be appreciated.
Thanks
I haven't used it but a recent food programme ---- Channel 4 I think - showed it being grown and dried for processing. It seemed absolutely safe and additive free.
Personally, I think it's extremely sweet, and you only need to use a teeny tiny amount of it.
I can't see how anyone would find it "chemically tasting", as it's completely natural.
You can buy Truvia in most supermarkets, which is made from stevia and not sugar.
I have absolutely no idea about growing it yourself though :-)
