Monk fruit is a fruit native to Southern China - it's been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries!

Known also as luo han guo or Siraitia Grosvenorii by its friends, the small melon-shaped fruit is only 15-20x sweeter than sugar.

Monk fruit doesn't have any carbs, and is also non-caloric! The sweetening molecules in monk fruit are known as mogrosides, which by themselves, don't cause blood sugar levels to rise.

At minimum, monk fruit is considered low-glycemic, and sometimes (*depends on your individual body and health!) non-glycemic, and is therefore often a favorite for diabetics.

Monk fruit not only doesn't have the bitter or weird aftertaste that affects some stevia products - but it's also known for a more natural sweetness curve.

Because it's less sweet than stevia, the monk fruit sweetness tastes cleaner and more natural. Our candy spikes in sweetness more similarly to standard sugared gummies!

Monk fruit has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries as part of sore throat remedies. Medical studies are currently researching the anti-inflammatory and potential anti-carcinogenic effects of the monk fruit's mogrosides!
