Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I am not sure who you are asking, but I grow stevia. Once grown, I dry the leaves and buzz them up in the Vitamix into a fine powder (you can use a coffee grinder too-I recommend a dedicated coffee grinder just for it, otherwise it picks up the flavor of the coffee previously ground) One plant makes a decent mason jar full of powder, and a little goes a long way. Done this way, the powder isn't snow white like it comes in packats, which leads me to believe that the commercially available stuff is bleached or chemical treated. Mine comes out a very pale cream to greenish color. Very easy plant to grow. I actually forgot one out on my porch one year, didn't water it for ages, and didn't think it would come back to life-it ended up being the sweetest one ever, lol. > > > > > > Now I have a question (I'm posting the link so you can see what I mean). > > > > > > How come when I made the flour-club soda mixture, it did NOT resemble the same as when I did the Regular white flour and club soda mixture. > > > > > > In this case I had to add some spelt flour and then all was fine. > > > > > > What (if anything) can I do next time to make a thicker batter? > > > > > > Here's the video. > > > > > > And Alan ate all the popcorn shoot patties, they were THAT good!! > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2IEeyz415Q > > > > > > Melody > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 : I think I could grow Stevia. Where do you get the seeds? And what exactly would I need to do? Wouldn't this be so cool? If I could grow Stevia right along side of my sunnies, peas and popcorn? lol Melody > > > > > > > > Now I have a question (I'm posting the link so you can see what I mean). > > > > > > > > How come when I made the flour-club soda mixture, it did NOT resemble the same as when I did the Regular white flour and club soda mixture. > > > > > > > > In this case I had to add some spelt flour and then all was fine. > > > > > > > > What (if anything) can I do next time to make a thicker batter? > > > > > > > > Here's the video. > > > > > > > > And Alan ate all the popcorn shoot patties, they were THAT good!! > > > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2IEeyz415Q > > > > > > > > Melody > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Check at Lowes or Home Depot for a stevia plant that is already growing, start with that, rather than seed for your first go at it. They need to be potted in soil, but do fine even in a tiny pot-yes, you could grow them right alone with your other goodies! > > > > > > > > > > Now I have a question (I'm posting the link so you can see what I mean). > > > > > > > > > > How come when I made the flour-club soda mixture, it did NOT resemble the same as when I did the Regular white flour and club soda mixture. > > > > > > > > > > In this case I had to add some spelt flour and then all was fine. > > > > > > > > > > What (if anything) can I do next time to make a thicker batter? > > > > > > > > > > Here's the video. > > > > > > > > > > And Alan ate all the popcorn shoot patties, they were THAT good!! > > > > > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2IEeyz415Q > > > > > > > > > > Melody > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
