The price surge of this kitchen staple has affected the purchasing power of Filipinos, who are already having difficulty coping with inflation.

This wonder plant can be used for baking, as a food enhancer for cooking, and to sweeten hot and cold drinks without guilt. What’s great about Stevia is how it sweetens food and beverages naturally, unlike sugar which has...
