If you’re looking for tons of information about stevia, look no further!

Our neighbors first introduced us to the stevia plant. I immediately became OBSESSED! The leaves tasted super sweet & I could grow this fantastic plant in my yard! Count me in! I bought 3 plants & was ready to go…

Except I didn’t really know anything about stevia. How was I supposed to cook with it? How could I preserve it? What exactly is this plant that I now have 3 of? So I hit up Pinterest for all the answers & it didn’t disappoint.


















I found out that Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar.  It has no calories or carbohydrates.  It’s just a lovely little plant!

Even though I bought my plants from a greenhouse, there are tons of tips for starting stevia plants from seeds.  I might go that route for next year’s planting season.  But I could also bring my plants inside for the winter!

For preserving, I found several links on creating both liquid extract & dried stevia.  Many stevia extract recipes use alcohol that is boiled out, but I found this recipe that uses just water.
