You can grow the plant in your garden. You can make your own powder.
It IS sweet!
I'm not sure if it will grow in MI, but I think so. It looks much
similar to mint, but smaller leaves. I have seen it growing in the
south.
Denninger's mention of Stevia was interesting, as I'd never heard of
it before.
1/4lb of powdered herb is as sweet as 60lb of sucrose, but has potential for
bitter licorice aftertaste?
There have been allegations of health concerns, but nothing to compare to
saccharine or cyclamate. Advocates claim the allegations are fabricated by the
artificial sweetener industry.
It looks like the sweetest, least aftertasty compound found in Stevia is being
commercialized as Truvia, complete with bulk additives to make it measure like
sugar, so a 9oz jar of Truvia won't last as long as a 4oz bag of
powdered Stevia.
