About Product
Monk Fruit Extract Powder is made from the small, round monk fruit (luo han guo), a traditional fruit native to southern Asia. Known for its naturally intense sweetness, it has a clean, pleasant taste that makes it a popular alternative to sugar.
This fine, shelf-stable powder blends easily into beverages, smoothies, baked goods, and sauces. With its versatile use and naturally sweet flavor, monk fruit extract is a convenient way to add sweetness without relying on traditional sugar.
Suggested Use: Mix 1/16 teaspoon with recipes, tea, yogurt, or add to your favorite smoothie. One teaspoon of our Monk Fruit 25% Mogroside V extract equals about one cup of sugar.
