I did a little research after a friend recommended it to me and I picked
some of this up this weekend. Stevia rebaudiana is an herb that has been
used for centuries by the Guarani Indians of Paraguay. I was wondering
if anyone else had any experience and/or knowledge with this herb. If
you want to know more about it you can read about it at

Love it! However, none has gotten to the powdering stage. g

A part of a Stevia list with a Chocolate Peppermint leaf makes a great
dessert, no calories!

leaf not list!!!

Interestingly there are commercial versions of powdered extract. I
bought a small tub at a health food store some two years ago and it is
still in excellent condition. It doesn't go off, so far as I can
judge.

Well no, it's only the dried powdered leaf after all. That can get weaker over
the years, but it can't go off.
I've an ounce or two from 1996 that still tastes sweet.

What I have is not only "the dried powdered leaf". That would contain
fibre, etc.. What I have is a pure white powder, so it must be the
result of some extractive process.
