Question Can't get Stevia .....

Is there by any chance someone reading the forum at the moment who knows how I can get Stevia in France. There is lots of Candia, but from various articles that I've read it would seem that Stevia is much better. Thanks in advance anyone for any ideas ......

Have you tried health food/vitamin stores. Here in the states thats where you would find stevia. The FDA deemed it a supplement and not a sweetener. Wouldn't want any competition for the drug companies who manufacture splenda and aspartame now, would we!

I believe that stevia is not licenced for sale within the European Union. Even is you send to the USA for it, it may be seized by customs officials.

Maybe you should try Amsterdam!!!!
(Stevia is a leafy plant -I believe in the chrysanthemum family- that is very easy to grow)
