I recommend buying a few because the output isn't a ton per plant. <br /><br />Btw- where did you find your powdered stevia (the green stuff you were describing)? <br /><br />I will be interested to hear what you find about the stevia liquid as well. What kind of an extraction is this? <br /><br />Elizabeth Walling at http://thenourishedlife.blogspot.com/ seems to like this version a lot and might have some info for you.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344548002751897530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-59610831623829998372010-02-11T09:38:23.203-08:002010-02-11T09:38:23.203-08:00I definitely need to post the latest information a...I definitely need to post the latest information about Stevia. I will try to get on that. The white powder version of Stevia is VERY processed, to my knowledge, and devoid of nutrients I think. <br /><br />Thanks for reminding me to get back to this, Kate!<br /><br />And by the way, I plan on trying Stevia plants this spring....I gotta at least try it!My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-51485139820599701142010-02-10T20:10:00.043-08:002010-02-10T20:10:00.043-08:00I have never baked with Stevia- usually just use i...I have never baked with Stevia- usually just use it in tea/coffee. And I've been using the white powder packets mostly, as a pure version seems almost impossible to find. I did have a stevia plant that I picked up from the farmers' market last summer that I grew and dried the leaves for tea, but would need several plants to make a good supply. I will be interested in hearing your stevia research. It would seem fitting that the processed white version with inulin is probably not as healthy as we imagine it to be.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344548002751897530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-88663351224956893062009-10-18T17:14:28.573-07:002009-10-18T17:14:28.573-07:00I have had success baking with stevia in some case...I have had success baking with stevia in some cases. Banana breads or muffins come out great. I believe the equivalent is 1 t. per cup sugar. Banana is a strong flavor and so you don't notice the stevia so much. I use stevia also in smoothies, dressings, coffee, tea,any cooking that requires a sweetener. But when it comes to classic cake recipes, I think you're better off with splenda, which has been formulated to substitute in texture. I prefer the NuStevia brand to SweetLeaf brand. I find it less bitter using the powder.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17410332300683862769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-89259241791995312952009-07-22T15:27:33.657-07:002009-07-22T15:27:33.657-07:00A wonderful list!
