Stevia as a substitute for sugar - December 24th, 2004 at 06:11 AM
Please, help!!! After hearing about the wonders of stevia, a natural sweetener, I was happy to find some seeds on the web.
I can find how to plant them, I'm sure. What I don't know is how to use the dried leaves? Can you cook with them? Is it possible to use stevia as a substitute for sugar in baked goods or can you only use it as a sweetener for cereal and foods that don't need a lot of sugar.
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks. And Happy Holidays everyone. Hope you can almost relax.
