Ground Stevia Leaves
Ground stevia leaves retain the full spectrum of the plant's naturally occurring compounds, including its characteristic sweetness, chlorophyll, fiber, and beneficial phytonutrients. Noticeably sweeter than sugar yet with a more complex, slightly herbal flavor than processed stevia products, it is a wholefood sweetener used in herbal teas, health drinks, and natural remedies. Our ground stevia is 100% pure leaf, with no fillers, carriers, or additives.
Package Size:
1 oz.
Uses:
Because this is ground stevia rather than a refined extract, it is less concentrated than white stevia products and has a more herbal, green flavor. It works best in applications where a mild sweetness and a subtle botanical note are welcome. As a starting guide, use around 1 teaspoon of ground stevia herb powder in place of 1 tablespoon of sugar, and adjust to taste.
- Herbal teas and infusions: Stir or steep directly into hot water alongside other herbs for a naturally sweetened herbal blend.
- Green smoothies: Blend into smoothies with spinach, cucumber, or matcha — the green color and herbal note blend naturally.
- Health tonics and drinks: Mix into warm water with lemon, ginger, or turmeric as a daily wellness drink.
- Yogurt and oatmeal: Stir a small amount into plain yoghurt or porridge for gentle sweetness with added plant goodness.
- Herbal remedies: Used in traditional preparations, tinctures, and homemade herbal capsules.
- Baking (limited use): Can be incorporated into health-focused recipes.
