Stevia, a member of the Chrysanthemum family, is a plant native to Paraguay. It has been used by the Guarani Indians since ancient times. We use the type of stevia from a crushed leaf which gives it its healthy green color. The crushed leaf form is about 30 times as sweet as sugar. It is useful for sprinkling on top of cereal and other foods. The leaf particles do not dissolve, so kids might take a little time getting used to the floating leaves in their cereal.
