My husband makes pizza at least once a week and I like to chop up a variety to sprinkle on my side of the pizza. He only likes Stevia on his side. I'll add herbs to just about anything I'm cooking; soups, chili or on steak and chicken. Loving the info from Sweet as I'm really not literate about care of the herbs. We go to FL for the winter and there is no one here to take care of my herb plants.
Can you tell us more about Stevia? I use the liquid sweetener occasionally in my tea (no calories). Is this the same as the sweetener? Are the leaves sweet? Thanks. You are the first that I have heard that grows Stevia at home.
