What Is Monk Fruit
Monk fruit, also called luo han guo, is a small fruit that grows on a vine and is native to regions of South Asia, including Thailand and China. Its extract contains intensely sweet substances called mogrosides. Buddhist monks were the first to cultivate the fruit, which is where its name comes from. Here it's blended with erythritol, a sugar alcohol, to create a sweetener that measures like sugar.
How To Use It
Use it as a 1:1 substitute for sugar, meaning 1 cup of this blend replaces 1 cup of sugar in your recipe. It mixes well into hot and cold drinks, baking and cooking. Excess consumption may have a laxative effect, which is a known characteristic of erythritol.
Who It Suits
This is a good option if you're cutting back on sugar but still want a sweetener that measures and behaves like sugar in recipes. It's made in China and packaged in Australia. For more from the same brand, browse the Naturally Sweet collection, or see our wider natural sweeteners range.
