Lynne: I’m Lynne from New York City, when cooking with Stevia how do I prevent they’re being in after chase? Kate Miranda: Hi Lynne! Let me just very quickly explain what’s Stevia is, it’s an herbs that’s in the crisantimum family found in a small bush mainly in Central America most especially Peru. What it is is a no calorie sweetener and natural and it’s so sweet that is 2 to 300 times sweeten than regular sucrose or table sugar. It’s an ideal substitute for diabetics because it’s sweetened very, very highly without raising glucose levels. Which is why it’s a choice from us people who are looking to cut few calories, when you buy Stevia in the store it’s already been process into a fine powder Stevia can be fairly hard to find you can use it into one to one ration. For example, one table spoon of sugar can be substituted with one table spoon of the powdered Stevia but to avoid the better after taste you might want to try reducing the total amount at the beginning because you can taste it as you go along and see if you need a little bit more. Oh that’s sweet.
