Oh there we go again, ms stanton running interference on behalf of the 'business as usual sugar in everything' lobby. We all should be eating our 'even junk food' with stevia ,,, it will stop us getting obese! This constant parroting of 'fat is bad' rubbish when we are watching kiddies and baby boomers getting obese from daily consumption of fructose (in all sugar, including natural honey at 50%) CAN BE STOPPED OVERNIGHT if we ate our food with stevia as the sweetener, & U know that ms stanton!

Hi Alam, from my research stevia is safe for diabetics, but best to check with your GP or health practitioner.

Interesting article. I have long been substituting orgnic honey for refined sugar in recipes but I haven't tried stevia. I'd love to find some fresh leaves and try making a tea from them.

Hi Carli, I often try and reduce the amount of sugar in recipes & have just started using Agave Nectar in desserts/cakes however have read conflicting research on whether agave is in fact any better (some research says it is worse healthwise). Have your growers come across any recipes that use stevia successfully as it sounds like a better option. I have only tried it once & was unsuccessful so it languished in the back of the pantry till I threw it out. ps- loving the diversity of your posts

What rice for what dish

Long grain rice has a long, slender kernel and cooked grains are separate, light and fluffy. Medium grain rice has a shorter, wider kernel than long grain rice. Cooked grains are more moist and tender, and have tend to cling together more than long grain. Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are soft and cling together.
