What if there were a natural sweetener that:
- Was 300 times sweeter than regular sugar, with minimal aftertaste?
- Had no calories?
- Was suitable for diabetics?
- Appropriate for children?
- Did not cause cavities?
- Was heat stable and thus could be used for cooking and baking?
- Was a great alternative to synthetic sweeteners?
- Easily blended with other sweeteners, such as honey?
- And already widely and safely consumed in many countries around the world for decades?
Welcome to the world of stevia! You've never heard of stevia? It's time you found out about one of nature's sweetest secrets. The Stevia Cookbook was written to let everyone know about this truly remarkable natural alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
The Stevia Cookbook is divided into two parts. It begins with the little-known story of stevia--from its use by South American Indian tribes for hundreds of years to its more recent popularity in Japan. In Part Two, you will find over 100 taste-tempting recipes--a complete variety of dishes from breakfast to dinner fare to appetizers and desserts. Best of all, The Stevia Cookbook shows you how to substitute stevia for sugar and chemical sweeteners in your own recipes. Now you and your family can enjoy sugar-free versions of family favorite dishes any time--without the guilt, the calories, or the warning labels.
