Stevia - another kind of Sweetner

Stevia is sweetner that comes from a plant extract that is native to South and Central America. Since the FDA hasn't approved it as such it can only be sold in health food stores as a "dietary supplement". The bottle shown above is from a local health foods store. You may notice some extracts to have a bit of a liquorice-like aftertaste. Here's a place where you can read more about it: www.stevia.net and www.stevia.com also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia
