Hi Gypsi,

Actually it is just SweetLeaf Stevia Plus. It is only Stevia leaf. Just

a brand name is all.

Hope I didn't pop your bubble here. :-\

Well, its not actually " just " stevia leaves. Would be better if it

were. Its chemically processed to pull out just the sweetning

ingredient. Yes, still far better for you than splenda, which in my

perception is an extremely dangerous substance to be ingesting. But its

not raw complete stevia leaves. It works better than plain stevia for

cooking, easier to quantify how much you need, and it dissolves well in

any liquid. Also most of the licorice taste is gone, which is a plus

for most baked kinds of foods - which usually aren't a great thing for

you to be eating anyway though. For tea, hot or cold, or lemonade the

stevia leaves are much preferable. For a cold tea start by using a

small amount of hot water for your stevia leaves, or leave ample time

for diffusion in the sun. The whole leaf is the very best sweetner, has

so many good health properties. Not just avoiding the sugar, but has

definate additional benefits, including stabalizing of blood sugar

levels. Joy

My Stevia plant just came up about two weeks ago, we

thought we lost it. But it is in a growing frenzy. If

we get seeds I would be happy to send you some, but I

have never tried to plant the seeds before, so that is

something you can share with me.
