Stevia and Truvia are NOT artificial sweetners. They come from the Stevia plant. My niece planted some and couldn't figure where the leaves went to -- Ah Hah! The kids were eating them. I use Truvia for everything. Except canning. You can buy the seeds at any "fancy" seed store. I use the plastic container, because I love them when they are empty - Good place for extra bobbins, empty bobbins, pins, you name it! It is not like regular sugar in that you only use a little bit on cereal or fruit. I have never baked from scratch with it, because I don't bake stuff that much anymore. Just me and I am not going to eat it all - I love that stuff better than sugar. I think it tastes better than sugar. It is totally natural. 1/4 t is equal to 2 t regular sugar. Enjoy! Edie
