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.
