I’ve tried all sorts of natural sweetners and I like stevia, but I’m a huge fan of xylitol – a natural sugar alcohol that has a very low calorie count and very low glycemic index number. Stevia has a little bit of an aftertaste for me that xylitol does not.

Stevia is easy to grow. It is a tender annual so you need to plant it after the last frost and grow it through the summer. Pick leaves as you need them and harvest the whole plant before frost and dry the leaves for later use.
