Description

The listing, 100+ Stevia Seeds!! has ended.

The following was taken from a website on the internet:
Stevia Rebaudiana is an herb in the Chrysanthemum family which grows wild as a small shrub in parts of Paraguay and Brazil. The glycosides in its leaves, including up to 10% Stevioside, account for its incredible sweetness, making it unique among the nearly 300 species of Stevia plants.

There are indications that Stevia (or Ca-he-he) has been used to sweeten a native beverage called mate since Pre-Columbian times.
Refined sugar is virtually devoid of nutritional benefits and, at best, represents empty calories in the diet. At worst, it has been implicated in numerous degenerative diseases. Stevia is much sweeter than sugar and has none of sugar's unhealthy drawbacks.
Q) Will Stevia raise my blood sugar levels?
A) Not at all. In fact, according to some research, it may actually lower blood sugar levels. However, this research has yet to be confirmed and contradictory results make any conclusions premature.

Q) Can I use Stevia if I am diabetic?
A) Diabetes is a medical condition which should be monitored and treated by a qualified physician or health care practitioner. However, Stevia can be a part of a healthy diet for anyone with blood sugar problems since it does not raise blood sugar levels. If in doubt, ask your doctor. However, if they do say no, ask them politely for the current research to support their opinion."

Stevia seeds are sometimes difficult to germinate, but there are over 100 seeds here, so more then enough to get a good start even if many don't germinate. As always, free shipping and I always include a bonus. Lately I have been letting the winner pick their own bonus from the seeds I have on hand too!

you can dry the leaves and ground them into powder, you can steep fresh leaves in your tea, etc... Google it and you'll find out how to use them.

Can you believe I haven't tried it yet? I love honey so that's what I use to sweeten everything.

Stevia is supposed to be better for you than honey... one thing you do have to remember is that you only use 1/2 as much Stevia as you do Sugar... it is that much stronger... with no after taste... we love it...
