The main interest from then on were the sweet ingredients, steviol glycosides (also called diterpene glycosides). They are 300 times as sweet as sugar, have no calories, are suitable for diabetics and prevent tooth decay.Stevia Rebaudiana Care:It would be difficult, at best, to start a stevia patch from scratch that is, by planting seeds::Stevia can be started from seed indoors in late winter::The stevia seeds need sunlight for the germination process::Germination is best at 70 to 75 degrees F::Seedlings should emerge in 7 to 21 days::When seedlings are large enough to handle, you can transplant them into 3-inch diameter pots::Even if you could get them to germinate, results might well prove disappointing, since stevioside levels can vary greatly in plants grown from seed
