Bring pure, natural sweetness straight from your garden to your kitchen with Sweet Leaf Stevia! Famous worldwide as a zero-calorie, plant-based sugar substitute, this tender perennial herb features plush green foliage packed with intensely sweet steviol glycosides, offering a natural sweetness up to 30 times greater than traditional cane sugar. Sweet Leaf Stevia grows as an attractive, bushy herb filled with textured, rounded green leaves. Exceptionally versatile in culinary uses, fresh leaves can be chopped directly into summer fruit salads, muddled into icy herbal teas, or kneaded into sweet breakfast breads and baked goods. For year-round natural sweetening, simply harvest the leafy stems, dry them, and crush them into a fine home-grown powder for coffee, drinks, and recipes.
