In Africa it has been also called the Miracle Tree with so many uses. This tree has delicate foliage and attractive pale yellow flowers. The slender, semi -deciduous, perennial tree, to about 10 m tall with drooping branches. Best kept pruned under 2mts as its the leaves that is what is best used in cooking.

(Source: Nutritive Value of Indian Foods, by C.

I've just discovered the plant and tried it in the plunger with the coffee - subtle sweetness in the coffee!

Sugar Herb - Stevia
