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.

Great!

These products by this company is the best! I truly love their products! The sweeteners are great because they DO NOT bring your blood sugar up. I also like that it doesn’t leave a weird after taste either. You also don’t need a lot either because a small amount is all the sweet it needs. If you use to much it does taste too sweet. Had that happen in my cold tea. Also a TMI, it doesn’t give you the runs! Lol! Most sweeteners do this to me so I was glad that this brand did not. I had started using their products back in 2019 - 2020 when I was doing the paleo diet. I have now been sleeved for the bariatric surgery and have started using these again to make all different kinds of foods. These products are just great! You can even use them for diabetic’s and keto diets! Thanks so much to the ones who make these and keep making new products in your line for me to try!

Not sugar, but still good

Tastes good but can’t say it’s a direct replacement for sugar, specially for the price difference

Good Product! - Will not buy again (Overpriced Erythritol)

For starters, I really enjoy the product as a sugar substitute. In fact, I like it as much if not more than sugar. The problem is not the product itself for me...Erythritol is an artificial sweetener. It's a very good artificial sweetener. I find it has no unpleasant aftertaste like other sweeteners. This product is approx. 99% Erythritol. There is just enough Monk Fruit added to this product to bring it up to the sweetness of sugar. The packaging is a gimmick. It's very stylish and pleasant to look at, and it features verbage such as "Over a thousand years ago, in the remote mountain highlands of Asia..." and "Discover your chi". Remember that we're talking about an artificial sweetener with a tiny dash of Monk Fruit.In summary: It's much more cost effective to just buy Erythritol. It won't be a 1:1 sugar replacement like this stuff, but if you buy some Monk Fruit extract as well and play around with it, you can get essentially the same results at home.
