Updating this older message about Stevia, which can be used as a sugar
substitute.

This is so pretty amazing stuff. I had never heard of it before your post
and I started doing a little reading. If anyone not familiar with the
plant
would like more imformation, I've found this website to be fairly
comprehensive in it's descriptions of Stevia rebaudiana.

I got my seeds from Park Seeds (http://www.parkseed.com). I got a few
seeds as a "freebie" with my order last year and just bought another
package to grow another batch. It's Item #0265 and is listed as "Sugar
Plant."

I just transplanted a fair sized stevia (~2+ feet tall) into a nice
pot and gave it to a friend for her diabetic husband.

Thanks for the link for the extra information. I'll forward the URL to
my friend.

From the 2004 catalogs:

Territorial Seed Company, page 158, has Stevia extract and a cookbook.
www.territorialseed.com

Pinetree Garden Seeds has 4 books (pages 121-122) and Stevia seeds (page 48,
item 535). www.superseeds.com
