Question 1

What is monk fruit sweetener?

Accepted Answer

Monk fruit sweetener is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the monk fruit (Siraitia grosvenorii), also known as luo han guo. It's 150-200 times sweeter than sugar with no calories and zero glycemic impact, making it perfect for diabetics, keto dieters, and anyone looking to reduce sugar intake.

Question 2

Is monk fruit sweetener safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, monk fruit sweetener is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA and approved for use in Europe. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. Multiple studies have shown no adverse effects from consumption. It's suitable for pregnant women, children, and people with diabetes.

Question 3

How does monk fruit compare to stevia?

Accepted Answer

Both monk fruit and stevia are natural, zero-calorie sweeteners. However, monk fruit typically has no bitter aftertaste that some people experience with stevia. Monk fruit is also considered easier to digest and may have additional antioxidant benefits. The choice often comes down to personal taste preference.

Question 4

Can I use monk fruit sweetener for baking?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Monk fruit sweetener works excellently in baking. Use our powder form for baking recipes at a 1:1 ratio with sugar. It's heat-stable and won't break down during cooking. However, note that it won't caramelize like sugar and may result in slightly different textures in some recipes.

Question 5

Is monk fruit keto-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Monk fruit sweetener is 100% keto-friendly with zero net carbs and zero glycemic impact. It won't spike blood sugar or kick you out of ketosis, making it one of the best sweetener choices for the ketogenic diet.

Question 6

What's the difference between monk fruit liquid and powder?

Accepted Answer

Our liquid infusion is perfect for beverages like coffee, tea, and smoothies - just a few drops needed. The powder form is ideal for baking, cooking, and recipes where you need to measure by volume. Both contain pure monk fruit extract with no artificial ingredients.

Question 7

Does monk fruit have any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Monk fruit sweetener is generally very well-tolerated with minimal to no side effects for most people. Unlike some sugar alcohols, it doesn't cause digestive issues. However, if you're allergic to cucurbitaceae family plants (like melons or squash), consult your doctor before use.

Question 8

How much monk fruit sweetener should I use?

Accepted Answer

Since monk fruit is 150-200 times sweeter than sugar, a little goes a long way. For our liquid: start with 3-5 drops per cup of beverage. For powder: use our included measuring guide, typically 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon equals 1 teaspoon of sugar. Adjust to taste.
