What is it?
Monk Fruit Sweetener is a natural sweetener made from monk fruit (Luo Han Guo), a small fruit traditionally grown in Southeast Asia. Its sweetness comes mainly from naturally occurring compounds called mogrosides, which are much sweeter than regular sugar.
Because monk fruit extract is very concentrated, commercial monk fruit sweeteners are often blended with other ingredients to make them easier to measure and use like regular sugar.
