Monk Fruit Sweetener

Monk fruit sweetener, also known as monk fruit extract or lo han guo, is a type of sweetener that is derived from the monk fruit, a small, round fruit native to China. It is a zero-calorie sweetener that is about 150-200 times sweeter than sugar, so only a small amount is needed to sweeten food and beverages. Monk fruit sweetener is often used as a sugar substitute in products such as drinks, desserts, and other low-calorie or sugar-free foods. It can also be used in baking and cooking as a sugar substitute. Monk fruit sweetener is suitable for people with diabetes or other conditions that require them to limit their sugar intake, as it does not raise blood sugar levels. It is also suitable for people following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
