Priznam, da se do nedavnega sploh nisem ubadala z naravnimi sladili. Lansko jesen sem hotela kupiti mojo prvo stevijo zaradi firbca ampak je bilo zanjo prepozno. Zato sem komaj čakala pomlad, da jo kupim, dam v svoj zeliščni skalnjak in jo končno uporabim. Odziv nanjo je vsekakor zanimiv. Okus je zelo zelo sladek, tako da je z njenim doziranjem potrebno biti zelo pazljiv. Na začetku je okus sladkast, kasneje pa ima malo grenkega priokusa. To rastlino poznajo predvsem diabetiki, saj jo lahko uporabljajo namesto sladkorja, saj ne zvišuje ravni sladkorja v krvi po njeni uporabi.
Stevija(stevia rebaudiana)
Stevija je trajnica, ki zraste od 60-100cm visoko s steblom in stranskimi poganjki. Listi so podolgovati, dolgi 3-8cm in z drobnimi, nazobčenimi robovi. Cvetovi so bele barve.
Rastlina je ena izmed občutljivih rastlin na mraz. V kolikor jo dobro zaščitite jo lahko imamo tri leta zapored, ampak se s tem zmanjša sladkost listov. Iz njih lahko naredimo potaknjence za naslednje leto. Sadimo jo bolj pozno spomladi, ko so že jutra bolj topla. Lističe lahko pobiramo poleti za vsakodnevno uporabo, najbolje pa je, da jo oberemo pozno jeseni, ker hladne jesenske temperature in krajši dnevi ojačajo sladkost rastlin, ko se te pripravljajo na cvetenje. Liste sušimo na ne preveč visoki temperaturi z dobrim kroženjem zraka. Liste zdrobimo z roko, v mlinčku za kavo ali posebnem mlinčku za zelišča.
