There are packets of it on sale in many grocery stores - so, I had to try it as a sugar substitute. Yes, it is sweet - not sure if it is mega-multiples sweeter than sugar as they imply in the advertising though.
My only drawback was the lingering aftertaste - not really strong, but to me there is one. But, just like other things, if you use it enough, that taste could become normal.
I’m wondering if it needs to be extract crystals or if steeping the leaves would do the same thing.
Anyone tried growing any?
Daughter uses it all the time as other sweeteners give her a headache-splenda, aspertane, etc. My questions were about the feasibility of growing in my area where it would need to be inside during winter months and if it continues to produce after haresting leaves. Also, in a survival situation, it would be good to have a harvestable sweetener at hand. Seems to be more expensive than comparable products.
