Monkfruit (also known LUO HAN GUO)
❓ F U N F A C T: ‼️
Monk fruit’s sweetness doesn’t come from fructose or glucos.
To make monk fruit extract, the seeds and skin are removed before the fruit is crushed to separate the juice from the pulp. The juice is then processed to extract antioxidants called mogrosides, which is where the intense sweetness comes from.
✨Monkfruit has zero calories and zero carbs.✨
Because the mogrosides are separated out from the juice, monk fruit extract has zero calories and carbs. That makes it an ideal sweetener for low-carb baked goods and a safe choice for people with diabetes. 🙌🏻
Monk fruit is considered one of the highest levels of healing herbs in Eastern medicine and has been used since its discovery to treat all kinds of ailments. Because the people who farm it live so long it is also thought to be the secret to longevity.
