Stevia plant (an alternative sweetener)


When I got back to Doc J Stopover after more-than-a-year-ago visit, I observed that there are many plants added to the garden. One of the new thing for me there is this Stevia plant.

Stevia plant is a healthy sweetener promoted as an alternative to sugar in the market. Here some facts from Wikipedia. One worth mentioning is that "With its steviol glycoside extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has attracted attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar sweeteners. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose it is attractive to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets."
