The leaf that switches sweetness off.
Dried whole and kept apart, gymnema does something nothing else here does: chew a leaf and sweetness leaves your tongue for the best part of an hour. It is taken for a sweet tooth and for steady blood sugar, usually after a meal.
Grassy and quite bitter on its own. Chew a leaf before dessert once and you will tell someone about it. Worth trying once for the trick alone; usually blended after that.
