You can finally enjoy the sweet without the bitter. Monk fruit sweetness comes from naturally occurring antioxidants called mogrosides. As the name says, Monk Fruit (also known as Luo Han Guo), is a fruit used by monks that lived in the misty mountains of China. They used this fruit for its intense sweetness and as a traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Morlife Certified Organic Monk Fruit is vegan, gluten free and is a fruit juice powder, not an extract or sweetener blend.
