Monk Fruit

Monk fruit is a sweet fruit that has been used for centuries for its healing ability. It is also know as “Luo Han Guo”, as the fruit was first used by Buddhist monks living in the steep mountain region of Southern China in the 13th century. Thus it is also known as the Longevity Fruit or Immortals Fruit.

For thousands of years in ancient Chinese herbalism, Luo Han Guo has been soaked in water to cure disease, such as high blood pressure, pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma, gastritis, whooping cough, acute & chronic tracheitis and acute & chronic tonsillitis, etc.

Monk fruit extract is 150 to 200 times sweeter than sugar. The extract contains zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero sodium, and zero fat. This makes it a popular sweetener alternative for those who can’t eat sugar, for example patients of obesity and diabetes.
