About Monk Fruit
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, holds a special place in our hearts at Natvia. It's a small, round fruit native to Southeast Asia, flourishing on perennial vines akin to melons and pumpkins. What sets monk fruit apart is its intense sweetness, derived from natural compounds called mogrosides, notably mogroside V. Surprisingly, it's 250-400 times sweeter than table sugar! Despite its sweetness, monk fruit is low in calories and contains no sugar, making it a cherished alternative sweetener for those on a quest to reduce sugar intake.

Source
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is grown on lush vines in the mountains of Southeast Asia. Each fruit is hand-picked at peak ripeness for the best sweetness.
Process
The fruit is crushed to extract its juice, which is then filtered and concentrated to isolate the sweet mogrosides. This process preserves the fruit’s natural goodness.
Result
The concentrated mogrosides are dried into a fine powder and blended for balanced, clean sweetness. The result is a natural sugar alternative with zero calories.
