Native to Paraguay, stevia was called "Sweet Leaf", having 10-15 times the sweetness of sugar! Stevia was used as a tonic in South American native traditions. Dry the leaves and grind to use in your kitchen as a natural substitute for sugar and other sweeteners. Just a pinch will do!
Covered with small white flowers, Stevia is perfect in the garden and the tea cup.
