Description
Stevia Rebaudiana ‘Sweety’
More than a hundred times sweeter than sucrose, the leaves of this South American plant can be used as a healthy alternative to sugar in baking, drinks and cold dishes. Also has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. A small, bushy and tender shrub, it prefers a shady spot outdoors during the summer and is best brought indoors every autumn. Leaves can be dried, made into a syrup, or used fresh for a milder taste. A curiosity and great talking point!
