Often we have the sweet craving! It does happen that some of us are outright 'sweet tooth' followers while others are less inclined for 'the sweet' while preferring pungent, bitter, salty or sour tastes. In preparation and after taking part in sport or hard physical activity you can feel the need to boost up your energy.
A tendency is to lift energy and give ourselves a sweet taste through sugar. Various sources of simple sugar are around from refined sugar in drinks and snacks or in unrefined forms through fruits. That is not all, there are types of syrup such as maple syrup and indeed maple syrup is highly famous in Canada. Enjoying wide recognition, the maple tree leaf has been made the Canadian national symbol! The inner sap of the maple tree provides the source for maple syrup, and maple sugar is processed from the popular maple tree!
It is from sugar cane and sugar beet that we process molasses, brown and white sugar. Since syrups are high in sugar they may not be what we need sometimes. There are times when we have the craving for something sweet but do not necessarily need to raise our blood sugar up! Being lax; sitting at the office or lying on a couch at home and not being active may still sprout the craving for something sweet.
It is stevia that is a perfect substance to provide something sweet without raising our blood sugar. Sweetness without concern on calories and it can be used by diabetics with high blood sugar. Purchased as syrup, in powdered form or as dried leaves, stevia is useful. Certainly versatile enough to replace sugar in hot and cool beverages; and adding a sweeter touch to any food.
South America is the original habitat of stevia and this plant enjoys warm weather but not excessive water! Although this plant does not drink high levels of water, it makes our drinks so sweet and enjoyable! Stevia is actually an herb and we can grow our own stevia! Pick a leaf and chew it for the greatest sweetness you have had! The stevia herb is extremely potent and when used we need only a minor amount as it is far greater in sweet strength than sugar and honey or other syrups. Take a small section of the fresh leaf when you try it.
The level of sweetness varies according to the plants growing conditions. The nutrients in the soil have and do affect the health of plants. When you do plant stevia rely on taking a transplant (a section of the plant) rather than the seeds, which are harder to sprout. It is difficult to imagine that a leaf can be profoundly sweet until you have tried and tasted it for yourself. If you're fortunate to have this sweet plant nearby, and there may be times when you have a sweet tooth, then you might just pop in a green stevia leaf. - 14130
