Stevia Seeds

Stevia leaves are many times sweeter than sugar, with no calories. A single leaf can sweeten a cup of tea, and dried, ground leaves work in baking. Stevia is a tender perennial native to South America, so most growers treat it as an annual. Seed germination is spotty, so sow plenty and keep it warm. Pinch the tips to promote bushy growth, and harvest before flowering for the sweetest leaves.
