STEVIA (Stevia rebaudiana) PB3 20cm
Also known as the sugar leaf herb, this wonderful plant is used in its native Paraguay and throughout South America as a sugar substitute. It has almost none of the calories that sugar has, and can be used by people with a sugar intolerance. Use the leaves fresh or dried, or make a solution in water. It is much sweeter than sugar - I used 1/2 a teaspoon of fresh leaves to replace 2 tablespoons of sugar! The perennial herb grows freely on river banks in poor sandy soils. In the garden, give it a rich loamy soil and keep it mulched and watered. Use the leaves any time, but harvest the whole crop in autumn before the growth dies back. It will grow back in the following spring. They are cold sensitive till established.

Juice makes an excellent drink – easy to juice through a roller-type wringer. There is around a litre of juice in every stem so the potential for production of Sugarcane juice for use as drinks, sweetening for beer, wine, bottled fruit, baking, cooking etc is enormous. The flavour of unprocessed sugarcane juice is yummy! Good biomass, shelter, stock food.
