Monk fruit is a small green melon native to China and Thailand. Used for centuries in traditional medicine, it’s also zero-calorie sweetener. Its sweetness comes from mogrosides, which are much sweeter than sugar but don’t raise blood sugar levels.

Who discovered monk fruit?

Buddhist monks, have cultivated monk fruit for centuries, calling it "The Immortals Fruit" for its health benefits. Used to sweeten teas and elixirs, it was believed to boost energy and longevity. The FDA approved it as a sweetener in 2010.

What are the benefits of monk fruit?

Monk fruit sweetener is calorie-free, doesn’t raise blood sugar, and suits diabetics and low-carb diets. Its mogrosides are antioxidants that may reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. It supports gut health and may aid weight management.

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found in fruits, cheese, and more, and it’s been in the human diet for centuries. Unlike other sugar alcohols, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted in urine, causing less digestive stress and zero calories.

Very pleased to have found this sweetener. No calories and has NO aftertaste! It seems to take a little more ti sweeten my coffee, but worth it. I got the 'Golden' because it pors nicely and resembles turbonado sugar.

This is my go to keto friendly sweetener. I've been using Lakanto gold for years, I love the taste of brown sugar and this is as close as I can get without using the real thing. I haven't had any GI issues with use. I've given a lot of friends and family baked goods using Lakanto gold as the sweetener; they have all been floored by how great everything tastes. I don't check my blood sugar as I'm not diabetic, but my mom is and using it hasn't raised her blood sugar. It's zero calories, and I get the 3 pound bag so I can bake to my hearts content. I use it cup for cup instead of sugar. It's definitely more expensive than sugar, but it's a great value if you're avoiding sugar. I highly recommend it.

me gusta el sabor, es casi igual al de el azúcar, lo combino 50% con azúcar mascabado así me rinde más. Me ha ayudado mucho para control de peso ya que el café y los licuados de frutas me gustan dulces
