Many of you have told us that you love the stevia-sweet white powder because it is so versatile and efficient.
I am not sure about you but I am always amazed how few people know about Stevia even though it has been talked about in the media over the last few years. Most of us have learned about stevia as a healthy natural sweetener...

Have you heard of the most natural of all zero calorie sweeteners - Stevia?
If you are already using it you'll be familiar with the fact that it is very efficient and that it takes a little practice to get the amounts right when sweetening drinks, desserts and cakes.
Yes I generally advocate to make your own treats due to the fact that commercially produced product so often have ingredients that are suboptimal for anyone who cares about their health. you'll notice how my recipes on this blog have evolved with my personal dietary needs at first I was low fat fanatic, then I realised that fat is the only thing that satisfies my body and my mind, then I went gluten free and recently I also tried egg, dairy and cocoa free.
We should always keep paying careful attention to the full list of ingredients of all packaged products, the longer the list and the stranger the words, the bigger the...
The final big hurdle to the universal use of stevia in commercial food products has been cleared.
We consumers can celebrate the final approval of Stevia for use as a sweetener in the European Union.
"The regulation has been formally adopted on 11 November and will enter into force twenty days after publication in the EU Official Journal, which occurred on 12 November."
Europeans will be able to enjoy products sweetened by steviol glycosides as early as 2 December 2011, so keep your eyes peeled for many new products that will be sweetened with the most natural of all zero calorie sweeteners - Stevia.
But STOP! With all the excitement, we should bear in mind though that a manufactured product, even if it is sweetened with natural healthy sweetener such as stevia, will never be as healthy as a food prepared at home with all natural ingredients that suit you individual bodies needs. We should keep paying careful attention to the full list of ingredients...
Use up your leftover fruit that has been sitting in the bowl for ages. It's so tempting to just get rid of slightly soft and shrivelled fruit; when no one in the house gives the soft kiwi or wrinkly plum another look, it's time to convert these perfectly good fruits into a delicious crumble treat.
I don't know why, but I keep buying kiwis and then they don't get eaten. It's probably because its not as convinient to eat as an apple, having to peal or scoop it to get to the flesh. Then there is the chance that it is very sour which also seems to put me off.
Last time I had to turn my Kiwis into something to get them eaten, I made the Kiwi Coconut Truffels, all refreshing and just right for summer season. Now that the days have started to get darker, my body calls for warmer and starchier desserts like crumble and pies.
Last sunday my craving for a sweet treat needed dealing...
The long battle of biology professor Jan Geuns to get the EU Commision to approve the natural sweet stevia extract for use in Europe since 1997 finally seems to be over. The EU commission gave the green light, the proposal is still under consideration in the EU Parliament and EU Council; theoretically, objections could still be raised until 29 October, but this happening is highly unlikely.
The Estimated date for the official green light of the EU Commission is currently 15th November 2011.
Professor Geuns is delighted by the progress, but is not yet satisfied. He is already working on another application for admission; he is pushing to ensure that the extracts may be used in greater quantities and especially in “all foods”. This shall make it easier for companies to sweeten with stevia in any way they want, allowing development of a wide variety of processed food sweetened with stevia extract.
So, in future, the 3000 times sweeter than sugar stevia extract will not...
