Stevia for Baking

Ground Stevia for Use in Baked Foods

 

 

Step 1

Rinse the Stevia leaves in cold water and lay them flat on paper towels. Pat the moisture from the leaves and let them sit out for a few minutes.

Step 2

Break off any stems. Grind the dried Stevia leaves to powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

Step 3

Scale, or portion, out the dry ingredients -- except for sugar -- for the recipe. Portion 1 tablespoon of ground Stevia for every cup of sugar called for in the recipe.

Step 4

Scale out the wet ingredients for the baked good and add an extra 1/3 cup of the primary liquid for every tablespoon of Stevia used. For example, if you're making a hot-milk sponge cake -- which calls for 2 cups of sugar -- you would add an extra 2/3 cup of milk because you are using 2 tablespoons of ground Stevia to replace the 2 cups of sugar.

Step 5

Mix the batter and examine the consistency. If the batter is too loose from the additional liquid or bulk ingredient, add flour, a teaspoon at a time, until it stiffens to the desired consistency. Bake the baked good at a temperature up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Passion Fruits for Eye Health

Eye Health. One key component of passion fruit is its high concentration of vitamin A, primarily in the form of beta-carotene.  Beta-carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body, which is essential for good eye health.  As per scientific studies, vitamin A plays a crucial role in the production of rhodopsin, a pigment found in the retina that aids in low-light and night vision. Consuming passion fruit regularly can help ensure an adequate intake of vitamin A, reducing the risk of night blindness and promoting overall eye function.  Additionally, passion fruit is rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C and flavonoids.  According to research, these antioxidants help protect the eyes from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can lead to cell damage and contribute to age-related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts.  The powerful antioxidants found in passion fruit help neutralize free radicals, reducing the risk of ox...
