Sweet Monk Natural Sweetener
What exactly is monk fruit? It is a small round fruit native to Southern China and Northern Thailand. It's traditional name is "luo han guo". Luo han translates to "monk" and guo is "fruit" in Chinese. Thought to be named after the Buddhist monks who first cultivated the fruit some 800 years ago. It has been used for centuries in these countries to treat diabetes, digestion issues and obesity. How is SweetMonk sweetener created? We choose to use pure monk fruit extract. It is created by removing the seeds and skin of the fruit and using a hot water extracting method to extract the "mogrosides". They contain no sugar but are up to 200 times sweeter than sugar.
