Stevia, the virtuous sugar

There are over 150 species of Stevia, some of which are renowned for their sweetening properties. The plant originated in South America, where the Guarani Indians used it to sweeten their infusions. As leaf extracts have a much higher sweetening power than our sugar, this plant has attracted the attention of researchers. It can be a compatible substitute for diabetic and hypoglycemic diets. The authors guide the reader through the daily use of this astonishing plant. A useful book to learn more about its origins and benefits.
